Catalog of natural earthquakes in Poland
The catalog of natural earthquakes in Poland covers the years 1496-2013. The catalog is a complete set of tectonic events. It is a collection of historical accounts, seismological bulletins from the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IG PAS), and a local seismicity measurement campaign in selected regions of Poland, led by the IG PAS between 2008 and 2012. The analysis of historical materials was performed by Barbara Guterch (2009). The list of seismicity presented in the seismological bulletins was prepared during seismic monitoring by the Polish Seismological Network (PLSN). Local monitoring in selected regions of Poland was conducted by the IG PAS within the project “Monitoring of Seismic Hazard of the Territory of Poland” (Trojanowski et al., 2012, 2015) and is included in the catalog of natural events in Poland.
The presented catalog has been verified in available world sources: GFU (2012), CENEC (Grünthal et al., 2009), BGR (2008; 2012), EMSC (2012), NEIC (2012), ESI SAS (2004), Leydecker (2009), Van Gilis and Leydecker (1991), Shebalib and Leydecker (1997), Shebalin et al. (1998), Sharov et al. (2007).
