| Description: | Our main product is a (routinely updated) catalog of seismic moment tensors for the European and Mediterranean area. The seismic moment tensor is a complete description of the earthquake size and source geometry. The Centroid Moment Tensor (CMT) is a reliable method for calculating moment tensors, by which the Harvard Seismology Centroid-Moment Tensor Project systematically studies global seismicity. We use instead a modified algorithm (modelling intermediate-period surface waves) to compute Regional CMTs (RCMT) for moderate-magnitude events, not well studied at global scale. |
