FINAL SELECTION FROM THE CATALOGUES SUBMITED FOR BSHAP-1 UPDATE PROCEDURE: • Definingduplicateeventsinborderregion (15km) • RemovingeventsM < 2.4 & M ˃ 4.0 (1970 – 2012)fromnationalcatalogues • Comparingitwith BSHAP-1 PROBLEMS: • National cataloguescontain original data for all duplicateeventsresolvedin BSHAP-1 • Becauseofthepossibility to createnewduplicates, itwasofgreatimportancetodetermineeventsprevioslyresolvedin BSHAP-1 MERGING BSHAP-2 CATALOGUE
DEFINING DUPLICATE EVENTS IN BORDER REGION B&H CRO MN MN • Earthquakeswithinborderregion: approx. 15 km from the both sides of the border • Finding duplicate events between neighbouring countries: Croatia – Monte Negro, Monte Negro – Serbia, Monte Negro – Albania and Serbia - Albania • Comparing duplicateswith BSHAP-1 catalogue: all events resolved in BSHAP-1catalogue were identified. • Assigningcorresponding country to the event. It was done with the use of MapInfo program and the geographical coordinates in its Europe.tab file. (Possiblediscrepancies with real border coordinates?) ALB • T ± 90 s or less? • D ± 40km or less? • Everydoubtfuleventshouldbemanuallychecked?

CONCLUSION Accomplished tasks: • UpdatedBSHAP-2 catalogue with 3.0≤M<3.5 earthquakes and earthquakes occurred between 2010-2012 according to updated national earthquake catalogues • Determined duplicate events in 15 km buffer zones around national borders • UpdatedBosnia and Herzegovina earthquake catalog with all available data from Croatian, Montenegro and Serbian national catalogues Tasks to be accomplished: • Neighbors should check buffer zone updates • Declusteringand completeness check should be performed
CONCLUSION Proposed tasks: • Updating BSHAP-2 catalogue with 3.0≤M<3.5 events and events occurred between 2010-2012 from neighboring countries (Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece) if possible • Unification of the magnitudes, especially according to new updates • Examining and filtering the BSHAP Earthquake Catalogue for missing or duplicate events And finaly providing a final earthquake catalogue compatible with international standards
