Green’s function is well-known, among others, in the application of ambient noise tomography methodologies that may demonstrate the potential of hydrocarbon entrapment in the study area. Here it is also shown to be of key importance in identifying the fractal dimension in the unified scaling law for earthquakes as well as in studying an explicit relationship of a future strong earthquake epicenter to the average earthquake potential score. Such studies are now in progress.
