    Description: k-Means algorithms are widely used for determining clusters in broad types of datasets. Since zones of high seismic activity as plate boundary present diffuse seismicity patterns, the use of k-algorithm is a way to classify earthquakes in terms of centroids. Mapping centroids improves seismic visibility for further tectonic interpretation. We used selected datasets of earthquakes and determined the number of clusters or values of k by introducing the silhouette index method to check the validity of cluster numbers. By introducing magnitude size in the vectorial attributes, k-means algorithm provides a map of centroids that represents the location of high seismic energy, which is useful in seismic risk assessment. By including the depth of seismic events as the main attribute, we obtained spatiotemporal variations of centroids, which improve the image resolution of seismicity at depth to find out the underlying dynamic process. This has been achieved in subduction zone of Chile where the presence of slab is reflected by centroid distribution. The method is particularly relevant to complex seismic zones where controversial geodynamic models are reported such as the Gibraltar Arc. Resulting model supports W-oriented subduction underlying many parts of the Gibraltar zone. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

    Preliminary results from the first geomagnetic deep sounding in the Western sector of the Anti Atlas region, Southern Morocco (2010)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: An array of vector magnetometers was temporarily installed in the Western sector of the Anti Atlas chain, Morocco in the frame of the Geomagnetic Depth Sounding (GDS) technique. As a fruitful collaboration between Italy and Morocco, the joint project “Terremagnet”, funded by the Italian Ministry of the Foreign Affair, was aimed to local observations of the Earth’s magnetic field in order to define electric conductivity horizontal and vertical contrasts in a tectonic active region. The analysis in time and frequency-domain for tests on the induced EM field dimension, computations of single site and coupled site Transfer Functions (TFs) and induction vectors configuration are shown. Recorded data are compared to Averroes geomagnetic observatory (Morocco) (IAGA code: AVE, lat. 33° 17’ 53” N, long. 7° 24’ 48” W, altitude: 230 m a.s.l.). The preliminary results from Morocco are really encouraging and pointed out good data samplings that will allow shedding up light on the tectonic setting of this peculiar region of the Anti-Atlas.
