Modelado Estadístico Espacial de los Eventos Sísmicos Ocurridos en Colombia Entre 2005 y 2015 Usando Covariables Descriptivas de la Dinámica Litosférica Terrestre

Abstract

In this project, the estimation of models of the inhomogeneous Poisson point process associated to the pattern of earthquakes in Colombia was performed using covariates which describe the terrestrial lithospheric dynamics such as the altitude, magnetic and isostatic anomalies, and measures of distance to geological structures such as faults, tectonic plate boundaries and volcanoes. In this research, it was confirmed that earthquakes tend to occur near certain geological structures, in zones with important gravimetric anomalies, both positive and negative, and in zones with specific values of magnetic anomalies and elevation above the sea level.
