An earthquake catalog is developed for the Arctic region based on all available earthquake catalogs covering at least parts of the Arctic. The catalog accommodates around 121000 events of mostly earthquake and explosion origin. Other event types, such as landslides and volcanic events, are also reported in the database. The catalog includes information on event time, location, depth, magnitude and seismic phase arrivals at different seismic stations. Focal mechanism solutions is also available for the larger earthquakes (~630 in total).
The figure shows the geographical region of interest in the database with all the recorded events in the catalog as blue dots, large events with focal mechanism as red dots and monitoring stations as orange triangles.
