Summary of Earthquake Focal Mechanisms for the Western Pacific-Indonesian Region, 1929-1973

摘要

The purpose of the catalogue is to provide a comprehensive list of available mechanisms and to serve as a starting point for further tectonic studies in the area of interest. This catalogue contains 1,713 solutions from 48 data sources for the Western Pacific-Indonesian Region. Most are from earthquakes that took place since 1960, when the worldwide standard seismograph system started to become operational. However, a few solutions for earlier earthquakes are included where it is thought that they are based on reliable observations. The earliest earthquake in the table occurred on June 2, 1929, south of Nagoya, Japan. The catalogue is arranged to include the data source, date and time (UT), epicenter, and magnitude of the earthquake, either MB, ML, or MS.
