Sadegh Karimpouli published a paper in Seismological Research Letters entitled “MaxMagMod: A Web‐Based Application for Next Largest Magnitude Forecasting in Enhanced Geothermal Systems”. The paper introduces MaxMagMod, a web application that forecasts the next largest magnitude of induced seismic events in near-real time. The application runs with a user interface in the EPISODES platform and implements both deterministic and probabilistic models from the literature, using seismic and hydraulic data to produce its forecasts. The work was carried out within the Horizon Europe DT-GEO project. There, the team is developing a digital twin component for forecasting anthropogenic geophysical extremes, made up of four workflows, one of which is modeling the largest magnitude. The workflows are implemented in EPISODES, the web and cloud computing environment of the EPOS thematic core service Anthropogenic Hazards. Besides the magnitude forecasts, users can follow parameters such as the b-value, seismogenic index, and seismic efficiency ratio, which are expected to remain fairly stable while seismicity is pressure-controlled. The application was validated using case studies from the St1 project in Helsinki, Finland, and the Cooper Basin in Australia.
