Resumen Se realizo un mapeo tridimensional del valor-b para la sismicidad volcano-tectonica del Volcan Nevado del Ruiz (VNR) para el periodo comprendido entre 1985 y 2002. Se pudieron definir cuatro zonas anomalas (altos valores) de b en el VNR, localizadas, unaal oeste del crater activo cerca al crater la Olleta (b=1.3-1.8), asociada con un sistema hidrotermal en superficie (z=1Km) y una zona de alimentacion magmatica en profundidad (z=6Km); otra zona (b=1.4), ubicada bajo el crater activo Arenas (z=1Km) asociada con un sector de acumulacion de vapor y fluidos que harian parte del sistema hidrotermal del VNR; otra zona (b=1.7), localizada al sur del crater activo (Z=6Km) asociada posiblemente a la localizacion de una de las camaras magmaticas del VNR; y otra zona (b=1.7), ubicada al NE del crater activo (z=3Km) cerca al crater la Pirana, asociada tambien a una zona de alimentacion magmatica. Estas zonas son coincidentes con las halladas en otros estudios usando tomografia sismica para el VNR, al igual que con estudios petrologicos y geoquimicos. Palabras clave: valor-b, mapeo 3D, sismicidad, distribucion frecuencia-magnitud de sismos Abstract Three-dimensional mapping of b-value (frequency-magnitude distribution) was done for Nevado del Ruiz Volcano (NRV), Colombia for the period 1985-2002.Four high b-value zones were detected. The first zone (b=1.3 -1.8), located to the west of the active crater (Arenas), close to the Olleta crater. This zone was associated with a hydrothermal system at surface (z=1Km),andwith a zone ofmagma supply atdepth(z >6Km). The second zone (b=1.4), located beneath the Arenas crater (z=1Km) was associated with a zone of fluid and vapor accumulation related with the hydrothermal system of NRV. The third zone (b=1.7), located to the south of Arenas crater (z=6Km) was associated with one of the magmatic chambers of NRV; and the forth zone (b=1.7), located to theNE of the Areas crater (z=3Km) near to the Pirana crater, was associated with another magma supply zone. Those zones are in agreement with studies of seismic tomography, geochemistry and petrology done previouslyat NRV.
