Earthquake likelihoods have occupied humankind ever since, and the estimation of potential magnitudes is crucial for a multitude of aspects of safety. In this work, we present a probabilistic analysis of extreme magnitudes in 16 regions across the globe characterized by different seismicity to inver...
