Catalogue of Caucasus Region Earthquakes
with M>=4.0 (K>=11.0), -550-2000
Compiled by A.A.Godzikovskaya

This catalogue embraces the Caucasus earthquakes since 550 BC till 2000 AD and contain the consolidated information about the key parameters of 2739 earthquakes with magnitude of M>=4.0 (energetic class of K>=11.0), published in different sources. It contains the new information about the redefinition of all or some earthquakes' parameters and the new information about the aftershocks of major earthquakes.

The catalogue contains the co-ordinates and the opened date of 94 Caucasus's seismological stations, ranged in chronology. Such catalogue structure allows to take account of the development of the observation network.
The list of the sources used in compiling the catalogue could be found in the References. The information about the main sources, as well as the method of selection their data, are discussed in the NOTE. There is a detailed description how to define the parameters of the earthquake.
The data of 1995-2000 are to be preliminary. The catalogue will be gradually filled in a new bibliography and new data.

Tha data base was prepared by Dr. A.Godzikovskaya, Center of the Survey of Geodynamic Observations in Electropower-producting Brunch, Ministry of Fuel Energy; Dr. N.Sergeyeva, M.Zabarinskaya et al., World Data Center for Solid Earth Physics, Moscow, Geophysical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences.
