EARTHQUAKES IN 2014

Abstract

The 24th annual publication “Earthquakes in 2014”, published by the Seismology and Geology Office of the Slovenian Environment Agency, features 13 professional articles from different fields of seismology. Three articles describe the Slovenian seismological network and its operation in 2014. The main article is devoted to the seismic activity during that year. The strongest earthquake, according to its magnitude (4,3) occurred on 22 April near Pivka and had intensity V-VI EMS-98.The maximum intensity (VI EMS-98) was observed in the earthquake occurring on 13 March in Suha krajina with the magnitude of 3.7. Both earthquakes are presented in four articles which describe their effects and aftershock sequences. Two articles from the field of seismological instrumentation present the temperature stability and water level control system for seismological station shafts, and the testing of six new acquisition systems Q330HRS. The last three articles present fault plane solutions of some stronger earthquakes, the research on the historic earthquake near Litija, and the world’s largest earthquakes in 2014.
