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;
