Electronic Supplement to
Seismic Moment from Regional Surface-Wave Amplitudes: Applications to Digital and Analog Seismograms

by Fabrizio Bernardi, Jochen Braunmiller, and Domenico Giardini

In this supplement, we give the results of regional moment tensor analysis for events used in this paper that have not yet been published elsewhere. The method is described in Nablek & Xia (1995) and application examples for Switzerland and surrounding regions are presented in Braunmiller et al. (2002) and Deichmann et al. (2002). Additional solutions are given in Braunmiller et al. (2002), Braunmiller (2002), Baer et al. (2003) and Marone et al. (personal comm.). The remaining 14 solutions are presented in the following table.

Fault plane solutions from MT analysis for 14 recent earthquakes. For each event we give the location area, date, latitude, longitude, depth z [km], Mo [Nm] and the orientation of the two nodal planes (Strike/Dip/Rake). For the 1978 earthquake, Mxy = Myz = 0 are constrained. MT solutions since 2000 are available at <http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/mt> (last accessed December, 2004).
