A first-order second-moment calculation for seismic hazard assessment with the consideration of uncertain magnitude conversion

Earthquake size can be described with different magnitudes for different purposes. For example, local magnitude <i>M</i><sub>L</sub> is usually adopted to compile an earthquake catalog, and moment magnitude <i>M</i><sub>w</sub> is often prescribed by a...
