AbstractEarthquake swarms are complex clusters of seismic events that can significantly impact communities and infrastructure. They often occur in volcanic and geothermal areas and regions affected by human activities such as fluid injection or extraction. Identifying and understanding the factors that influence earthquake swarms is crucial for improving our ability to assess and mitigate seismic hazards. This research project aims to unravel the complex behavior of earthquake swarms by examining how th
