AlbACa – Albanian Earthquake Aftershock Campaign

On 26th of November 2019 an Mw 6.4 earthquake ruptured near the port town of Durres, only 25 km from Tirana, the capital of Albania. The earthquake caused major damage and killed 51 people, making it the deadliest earthquake in 2019 worldwide. The mainshock was relatively deep (~25 km) and of thrust type. In December 2019, a Hazard and Risk team (HART) from German Center for Geosciences (GFZ), Karslruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in cooperation with the Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment (IGEWE) of the Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania installed a 30-station seismic network in the epicentral region to record aftershocks. Stations were equipped with short-period (1 Hz or 4.5 Hz) 3-component seismometers and CUBE data loggers recording continuously 100 sps. Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code 9K.

2019年11月26日，一场矩震级（Mw）6.4级的地震在阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那仅25公里外的都拉斯港镇附近发生破裂。此次地震造成重大破坏并导致51人遇难，成为2019年全球致死最为严重的地震。主震震源相对较深（约25公里），属于逆冲型地震。2019年12月，德国地球科学研究中心（German Center for Geosciences, GFZ）、卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院（Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT）的灾害与风险团队（Hazard and Risk team, HART），与阿尔巴尼亚地拉那理工大学地球科学、能源、水与环境研究所（Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment, IGEWE）合作，在震中区域布设了一套包含30个测站的地震台网以记录余震。各测站配备短周期（1 Hz或4.5 Hz）三分量地震计与CUBE数据采集器，以100 sps的速率连续记录波形数据。相关波形数据可从GEOFON数据中心获取，台网编码为9K。
