This research is to apply the relatively new mathematical theory of chaos to earthquake catalogues in an attempt to extract the underlying attractor structure of the system. The question whether the methods of deterministic chaos are applicable to regional seismicity is highly relevant to models of earthquake occurrence and has received very little attention. A practical goal of this research is to see if the theory of chaos can be used to predict earthquakes and the work is thus a contribution to the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.

这项研究是将相对较新的混乱数学理论应用于地震目录，以试图提取系统的潜在吸引子结构。 确定性混乱的方法是否适用于区域地震活动的问题与地震发生模型高度相关，并且很少受到关注。 这项研究的一个实际目标是查看混乱理论是否可以用于预测地震，因此工作是对国家地震危害计划的贡献。
