What magnitude earthquakes can OpenHazards forecast?

The Open Hazards method generally computes probabilities for the occurrence of earthquakes in space and time, and for magnitudes typically larger than M > 5.0.  In addition, the methods can be more specifically applied to compute probabilities for other magnitude ranges.  For example Open Hazards methods have been applied to compute the probabilities for great earthquakes having magnitudes M > 8.0 in regions such as Indonesia where these occur.
