Italy, Potenza: 1973-2018

The Potenza cluster is named for the city of Potenza in the region of Basilicata in southern Italy. It includes the Irpinia earthquake (Ms 6.8) on November 23, 1980, and includes a number of moderate-sized events in recent years. The number of seismic stations in the source region increased markedly in 1999 and again in 2010, making direct calibration very easy. The velocity structure was refined with a subset of recent events for which free-depth relocations could be done. All events have depth constraint from near-source or local distance readings, or for a couple events, teleseismic depth phases. Number of events: [...]
