Application of cluster analysis to the study of spatial patterns of earthquakes in Azerbaijan and adjacent territories

Based on the data of the earthquake catalog in Azerbaijan and adjacent areas from 2010 to 2023, a procedure for dividing earthquakes into clusters was developed using the DBSCAN algorithm for Python. In the process of dividing into clusters, a number of indicators were used that allowed optimizing...

description Based on the data of the earthquake catalog in Azerbaijan and adjacent areas from 2010 to 2023, a procedure for dividing earthquakes into clusters was developed using the DBSCAN algorithm for Python. In the process of dividing into clusters, a number of indicators were used that allowed optimizing the number of clusters and the number of earthquakes in the clusters. A comparison of the location of earthquake clusters with tectonic faults in this region demonstrated their high correlation.

На підставі даних каталогу землетрусів в Азербайджані та прилеглих до нього районів за період з 2010 по 2023 р. розроблено процедуру розбиття землетрусів на кластери з використанням алгоритму DBSCAN для Python. У процесі розбиття на кластери використовувався ряд індикаторів, які дали змогу оптимізувати кількість кластерів і кількість землетрусів у кластерах. Порівняння розташування кластерів землетрусів з тектонічними розломами в цьому регіоні продемонструвало їх високу кореляцію. S.
