Seismic Hazard Parameters in Major Cities of Northern Algeria Using Statistical Tools
In this study, the earthquake frequency–magnitude relationship is modeled using two different designs: the truncated Gutenberg–Richter distribution and the generalized linear model. A goodness-of-fit statistic...

Comment on the Paper “Seismic Hazard Analysis of Surface Level, Using Topographic Condition in the Northeast of Algeria” by Mouloud Hamidatou, Mohammedi Yahia, Abdelkrim Yelles-Chaouche, Itharam Thallak, Dietrich Stromeyer, Saad Lebdioui, Fabrice Cotton, Nassim Hallal and Omar Khemici
We would like to make some comments on the paper by Hamidatou et al. (2019). Initially, these comments are motivated to reveal that, previous results on probabilistic seismic hazard analyses, some of them compute...

Forecasting Moderate Earthquakes in Northern Algeria and Morocco
In this work, we have studied the correlation between locations of MW ≥ 5.0 earthquakes and locations of 5.0 > MW ≥ 4.0 events for Northern Algeria and Morocco. A preliminary study shows that it can be observed a...
