One reason for undertaking this study was to explore the possible applications of earthquake simulations in assessing earthquake probabilities. Current standard methodologies for assess- ing time-dependent earthquake recurrence probabilities employ probability density functions. However, major sources of uncertainty in such assessments relate to both choosing an appro- priate functional form for the probability density functions and specifying the parameters for implementing the idealised PDF. Because our work focuses on determining whether the CV values are correlated with both the geometry of the fault system (through the S E coefficient) and the slip rate variability, in Fig. 3, we mapped the CV for each fault in the 240 synthetic catalogues. The figure is organised to present an increasing interaction among the sources in Fig. 3 – CV values calculated for all 240 as-produced synthetic catalogues for the nine seismogenic sources; the CV values are mapped and exhibit a decreasing value of along the x-axes and an increasing value of SRV lt along the y-axes. 162 GNGTS 2013 S essione 2.1
