Abstract

In the Dalton area, 60 km north of Canberra, Australia, earthquakes are strongly clustered in time, but the presence of multiple events with magnitudes around 2.8 is not a useful criterion for earthquake forecasting. If magnitude ML >2.7 events less than 14 months apart during the period 1960-1993 are grouped together, the magnitude ML(MAX) of the largest event of a group may be forecast from the relationship: ML(MAX) = 0.097 + 2.296 log t, where t months is the quiescent interval preceding the group in question and 2.8<ML(MAX)<4.2.
