Reassessment of earthquakes, 1900–1999, in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East

Reassessment of earthquakes, 1900–1999, in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East

Summary We have reappraised locations and surface wave magnitudes of earthquakes this century in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, between 10° and 44°N and 18° and 70°E. The results are presented in an improved parametric catalogue of shallow earthquakes (h ≤ 40 km), large enough (MS ≥ ...

Zusammenfassung:Summary We have reappraised locations and surface wave magnitudes of earthquakes this century in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, between 10° and 44°N and 18° and 70°E. The results are presented in an improved parametric catalogue of shallow earthquakes (h ≤ 40 km), large enough (MS ≥ 6.0) to be of interest in seismotectonics and earthquake engineering. A considerable number of early events of 6 ≤ MS
