Zusammenfassung |
The epicentral area of the Mw=6.4, 8 June 2008 main shock in
northwestern Peloponesus, Western Greece, had been forecasted as a candidate
for the occurrence of a strong earthquake by independent scientific
investigations. This study concerns the seismicity of a large area
surrounding the epicenter of the main shock using the seismological data
from the monthly bulletins of the Institute of Geodynamics of the National
Observatory of Athens. This data set is the most detailed earthquake catalog
available for anomalous seismicity pattern investigations in Greece. The
results indicate a decrease in seismicity rate seven years prior to the 8 June
main shock which constituted a two and a half year long seismic
quiescence surrounding the epicentral area. This quiescence anomaly was succeeded
by a period of acceleration in seismic activity for five years approximately,
until the occurrence of the main shock. |
