Lomnitz, C. (1993). Moment-ration imaging of seismic regions for earthquake prediction. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/93GL00447. issn: 0094-8276.

An algorithm for predicting large earthquakes is proposed. The reciprocal ratio (mri) of the residual seismic moment to the total moment release in a region is used for imaging seismic moment precursors. Peaks in mri predict recent major earthquakes, including the 1985 Michoac¿n, 1985 central Chile, and 1992 Eureka, California earthquakes. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
