focal mechanism of the earthquake

Source mechanism and tectonic setting of 29.09.2017 earthquake near Stebnyk

Purpose. The paper’s purpose consists in determining the source mechanism of 29.09.2017 earthquake near Stebnyk (21h46m8,4s, = 49,34˚, λ = 23,49˚, h = 1,9 км, MD = 2,9) using two methods – from polarities of first P-wave arrivals and by inversion of wave forms registered at a limited number of stations. Methodology. Seismic waves in the inhomogeneous medium represented by horizontally layered elastic structure are calculated using the matrix method.
