https://doi.org/10.5800/GT-2021-12-4-0562
Abstract
The paper presents previously unpublished earthquake focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes which occurred in South Pribaikalye, Transbaikalia, Tuva and Northern Mongolia derived from the first-motion polarities of P-waves recorded by the Baikal, Buryat, Altai-Sayan networks of the Geophysical Survey RAS and Mongolian national network.
Supporting agencies: The work was supported by Ministry of Education and Science of Russia. 1. The data used in the work were obtained with large-scale research facilities «Seismic infrasound array for monitoring Arctic cryolitozone and continuous seismic monitoring of the Russian Federation, adjacent territories and the world». 2. The research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project 20-05-00357a. 3. This work involved the South Baikal instrumental complex for monitoring hazardous geodynamic processes in frame of the Centre of Geodynamics and Geochronology at the Institute of the Earth’s Crust, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (grant 075-15-2021-682).
