Seismicity of Russia in 2018

Abstract

Results of monitoring seismicity in the main regions and territories of Russia are given, i.e., Western and East Caucasus, East European Platform, Urals and West Siberia, the Arctic Basin, Altai and Sayan Mountains, Lake Baikal, Cis- and TransBaikal regions, the Amur region and the Primorye, Sakhalin Island, Kuril-Okhotsk Region, Yakutia, North-East Region of Russia and Chukotka, Kamchatka and Komandor Islands in the year 2018. Catalogs of the most significant earthquakes are provided for each region considered with parameters of their hypocenters and magnitudes obtained from the instrumental observation. Manifestation of macroseismic effect from the majority of the notable earthquakes (with I ≥ 2 points on MSK-64 scale) that occurred in the territory of Russia is analyzed. Work of is intended for seismologists, geophysicists, geologists and specialists in earthquake-resistive construction.
