TLDR
In this paper, the authors invert the regional three-component data for the source parameters of moderate-to-strong earthquakes in the entire European-Mediterranean area and perform moment tensor analysis to link their moment magnitudes with local, body and surface wave magnitudes.About:

An integrated global model of present-day plate motions and plate boundary deformation
TL;DR: In this article, a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones is presented.

Kinematics of the Western Africa-Eurasia plate boundary from focal mechanisms and GPS data
Enrico Serpelloni,Gianfranco Vannucci,S. Pondrelli,Andrea Argnani,Giuseppe Casula,Marco Anzidei,Paolo Baldi,Paolo Gasperini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used earthquake and Global Positioning System (GPS) data to study the present-day kinematics and tectonics of the Africa-Eurasia plate boundary in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematics of the Iberia–Maghreb plate contact from seismic moment tensors and GPS observations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate 86 seismic moment tensors (MW 3.3 to 6.9) from time domain inversion of near-regional waveforms in an intermediate period band.

A seismic source zone model for the seismic hazard assessment of the Italian territory
Carlo Meletti,Fabrizio Galadini,Gianluca Valensise,Massimiliano Stucchi,Roberto Basili,Salvatore Barba,Gianfranco Vannucci,Enzo Boschi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new seismic source model for Italy to be used as an input for country-wide probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the frame of the compilation of a new national reference map.

Moment tensor solutions for small and moderate earthquakes in the Ibero‐Maghreb region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied time domain moment tensor inversion of local and regional waveforms to small and moderate (Mw = 35-57) shallow earthquakes from the Iberian Peninsula, northern Morocco, and northern Algeria.

Preliminary reference earth model
TL;DR: In this paper, a large data set consisting of about 1000 normal mode periods, 500 summary travel time observations, 100 normal mode Q values, mass and moment of inertia have been inverted to obtain the radial distribution of elastic properties, Q values and density in the Earth's interior.

A moment magnitude scale
Thomas C. Hanks,Hiroo Kanamori +1 more
TL;DR: The nearly coincident forms of the relations between seismic moment M_0 and the magnitudes M_L, M_S, and M_w imply a moment magnitude scale M = ⅔ log M_ 0 - 10.7 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of earthquake source parameters from waveform data for studies of global and regional seismicity
TL;DR: In this article, an initial moment tensor is derived using one of the variations of the method described in detail by Gilbert and Dziewonski (1975), where perturbations to the elements of the moments are found simultaneously with changes in the hypocentral parameters.

TL;DR: GMT is a public domain collection of UNIX tools that contains programs to manipulate (x,y,z) data and to generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections.

The relationship between plate motions and seismic moment tensors, and the rates of active deformation in the Mediterranean and Middle East
James Jackson,Dan McKenzie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the overall motion across a zone of distributed continental deformation and the seismic moment tensors of earthquakes that occur within it is investigated, and the results are applied to the Mediterranean region to see whether the motion between the relatively rigid regions of central Iran, Turkey, Arabia, Africa, the Adriatic Sea and Eurasia is accommodated seismically within the upper crust of wide deforming zones that bound these regions.
