Abstract

SeriesBuster is a Matlab program made to extract seismic series attending to the temporal and spatial relations among records from earthquake catalogs. The program allows to compare earthquake records making use of a number of variables: maximum distance, maximum and minimum temporal difference, focal depth, or any other feature marked by a flag, by means of a set of filters and functions (Fig. 1). SeriesBuster works comparing all possible relations in all records from the catalog in order to ensure that no possible seismic series is missed and that the produced ones are complete. The user has the option of eliminating from the output file those series composed by less events than a minimum established. SeriesBuster shows an interactive histogram of the distribution of the series versus the number of events in order to facilitate the user’s decision. SeriesBuster can work with either geographic or cartesian coordinates. The former must be in decimal degrees format. The output file contains two added columns. The first one refers to the serial day from a reference
