The European Catalogue of Seismogenic Sources

This is a cartographic summary of the seismogenic sources of Europe that were identified and investigated during FAUST. The faults are divided into three main categories according to the type of data they were derived from: Each source is characterized by a symbolic cartographic description (a box representing the surface projection of the source itself) and by a full tabular description of its main parameters, including location, size, geometry, kinematics, recurrence properties, available background information.
The type and amount of information available for each source depends on its category and level of investigation. The reliability of each individual source was rated following pre-specified criteria (see field Quality of the tabular description). See the Final Report of FAUST for further details.
In accessing the Catalogue please consider that we constantly do our best to make this catalogue as complete as possible. Neverthless users must be aware that the data supplied are the result of scientific investigations and may be modified and improved at any time. The authors will not take any responsability, either expressed or implied, as to the correctness of such data and to the implications of their use. In particular, we want to remind the user that the cataloguing effort is in progress abd therefore the absence of information (e.g. no seismogenic source in an area) should not be taken as a negative evidence. We strongly encourage users to contact one the partners to obtain more information.
 

The cartographic interface to the catalogue is known to work with Netscape 4.0 or higher and with Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.
The catalogue will not work properly with Internet Explorer 3.0 due to a known bug of this program. The cartographic interface has been designed for a 800 x 600 or bigger screen. Please use the buttons on the main page to adjust the interface to your hardware.
