+abstract: >-
+  This repository implements the Woodell & Abrahamson (2014)
+  and Woodell (2018) aftershock classification algorithm,
+  now adopted in the NGA-West3 project. The method builds on
+  the traditional time–distance window approach of Gardner &
+  Knopoff, but introduces three alternative distance-window
+  metrics that reference the actual rupture plane geometry
+  rather than a fixed circular distance from the epicenter.
+  By retaining the original time-window formulation while
+  redefining the spatial window, the algorithm provides a
+  more accurate and reproducible classification of mainshock
+  versus aftershock events. This refinement was first
+  applied to the NGA-West2 Ground-Motion Database and has
+  since become the standard in NGA projects. The code here
+  enables researchers to apply the method to their own
+  earthquake catalogs, ensuring consistency with the
+  NGA-West3 framework and supporting transparent,
+  reproducible seismic hazard analyses.
