Fig. 3: Sensitivity of simulated global interest in earthquake to casualties and socioeconomic development.
From: Data-driven modeling reveals the Western dominance of global public interest in earthquakes
In (a) and (b), black solid lines represent the level of global interest per death (initial global SAV divided by the casualties of the corresponding earthquake) and decay rates of global interest in earthquake estimated by the equations (non-linear and linear in (a) and (b), respectively). In (c), black contour lines depict the memory length of simulated global interest in “hypothetical” earthquakes with a range of casualties (10–1,000 deaths) and per capita GDP (5,000–50,000). Dots depict the observed memory lengths of GSAVs of the 17 earthquakes.
