摘要
In this paper we address two problems: (a) the estimation of the total moment release for the calculation of average strain rates and (b) the assessment of the contribution to the total moment of earthquakes smaller than those available in regional or global catalogues. We also examine the bias associated with the different methods currently in use to estimate earthquake recurrence and total rate of seismic moment release, which are important considerations in engineering seismology and tectonics.
