An earthquake catalogue for Greece is presented covering the period 1900-1985. It is based on a similar effort attempted a few years ago. The present version contains more than double the number of events, i.e. 4310 events compared with 1806 events, than in the previous papers. It also includes another 1711 events which took place in the region in an Appendix. The accuracy and completeness of the parameters of these shocks were insufficient for inclusion in the main catalogue without affecting the catalogue's homogeneity. For the new entries magnitudes are redetermined using Uppsala's reading as before, whereas the other parameters have been rechecked against local macroseismic information. The completeness of this catalogue varies according to the period of observation, but the lower threshold of completely reported magnitudes has been substantially decreased allowing for more detailed seismicity studies to be performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
