TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Natural time analysis of the Centennial Earthquake Catalog JO - Chaos, solitons and fractals A1 - Sarlis, N. V. A1 - Christopoulos, S-r G. SP - 023123 EP - 023123 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - By using the most recent version (1900-2007) of the Centennial Earthquake Catalog, we examine the properties of the global seismicity. Natural time analysis reveals that the fluctuations of the order parameter κ(1) of seismicity exhibit for at least three orders of magnitude a characteristic feature similar to that of the order parameter for other equilibrium or non-equilibrium critical systems-including self-organized critical systems. Moreover, we find non-trivial magnitude correlations for earthquakes of magnitude greater than or equal to 7.
