Unexpected M3.2 earthquake hits Brandenburg/Germany on 10/18/2024: Location, moment tensor, ShakeMap
Nov 13, 2024 · Earthquake
On 18 October 2024 at 12:50 local time (10:50 UTC) an unexpected earthquake of magnitude 3.2 hit the Federal State of Brandenburg/Germany halfway between the small cities of Herzberg and Doberlug-Kirchhain. The event was clearly felt by people nearby and swiftly detected and located by SeisComP. A precise analysis of this event is important since seismicity is low and no comparable event is know in the region for the past 500 years.

The M6.4 event hit Croatia near Petrinja on 29 December, 2020 at 11:20 UTC (12:20 local time). The event was a shallow strike-slip event consistent with the local morphology explaining the reported large destruction of the nearby area.

The large tsunami locally observed in the city of Palu, Indonesia on 28 September was triggered after the M7.5 earthquake to the North of the city but the large wave heights seem to be generated by a non-tectonic source.

The strong M7.1 earthquake near Mexico City is likely to cause severe damage. The event was fully automatically detected and located by our automatic SeisComP3 system only 5 minutes and 21 seconds after the event occurred.

We have simulated the tsunami wave heights and observed an unusual source mechanism for the M8.1 earthquake in the Pacific off-coast Mexico on 08 September, 2017. The full suite of SeisComP3 and gempa modules including TOAST and AUTOMT/MTV were applied to analyze this exceptional event.

Local tsunami wave heigths of up to 40 cm where observed for the M7.7 Ecuador earthquake on 16/04/2016. The hypocenter, magnitude, centroid depth and moment tensor were calculated using SeisComP3 and MTV.

Seaquakes have the potential to generate destructive tsunamis when the magnitude is large, the earthquake occurs at shallow depth below the ocean floor and the earthquake mechanism has a significant uplift component.

Gempa has used the in-house development TOAST to predict the tsunami propagation for the very large M8.2 Chile earthquake on 16 September, 2015. TOAST is a key gempa component for tsunami early warning and has been implemented in early warning centers such as in Oman and Indonesia.
