The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) records seismological data at six locations in Denmark (Fig. 1) and all data from these stations are manually reviewed for events like earthquakes and explosions. The identified events are analysed and located, in many cases using supporting data from stations outside Denmark. Seismic events have been recorded instrumentally in Denmark since 1929, but earthquakes felt in Denmark have been reported as far back as 1515 (Lehmann 1956; Gregersen et al. 1998; GEUS 2012). This article reports on the developments in detection level of both man-made events and natural earthquakes within the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) from 2000 to 2012. Changes in detection level are mainly due to the availability of data from new seismic stations in Sweden and Norway as well as from a GEUS test station at Gøttrup in NW Jylland. As a case study, the list of events on and around Bornholm is reviewed. Also described here are the reported intensities at two recent felt events in Denmark (North Sea magnitude 4.3 on 19 February 2010 and Kattegat magnitude 4.1 on 6 August 2012).

<p>High-rate GNSS observations are usually related to earthquake analysis and structural monitoring. The sampling frequency is in the range of 1-100 Hz and observations are processed in the kinematic mode. Most of the research on short-term dynamic deformations is limited to natural earthquakes with magnitudes exceeding 5 and amplitudes of at least several centimetres up to even meters. The high frequency GNSS stations positions monitoring is particularly important on mining areas due to the mining damages. On the underground mining areas the seismic tremors are regular and there are several hundreds of events annually of magnitude over 2 with maximum magnitudes of 4. As mining tremors are shallow and very frequent, they cause mining damages on infrastructure.</p><p>Here, we presented the application of GNSS-seismology to the analysis of anthropogenic seismic activity, where the event magnitude and amplitude of displacements significantly lower. We examined the capacity to detect mining tremors with high-rate GPS observations and demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge that even subcentimeter ground vibrations caused by anthropogenic activity can be measured this way with a very good agreement with seismological data. One of the most-felt mining shocks in Poland in recent years occurred on January 29, 2019 (12:53:44 UTC) M3.7 event in the area of Legnica-Głogów Copper District and was successfully registered by high-rate GNSS stations co-located with seismic stations. In this mining tremor the peak ground displacements reached 2-16  mm and show the Pearson’s correlation value in range of 0.61 to 0.94 for band-pass filtered horizontal displacements.</p>

Abstract The National Network of Seismic Stations of Slovakia (NNSS) consists of eight short period and five broadband permanent seismic stations and a data centre located at the Earth Science Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (ESI SAS). The NNSS recorded and detected 11704 seismic events from all epicentral distances in 2018. Totally 86 earthquakes originated in the territory of Slovakia in 2018. This paper provides basic information on the configuration of the NNSS, routine data processing, seismic activity on the territory of Slovakia in 2018 as well as macroseismic observations collected in 2018.

The article shows the monitoring results of the Ural region seismic network in 2013. It describes the seismic stations and registration abilities of the network. The analysis of seismic activity in Ural in 2013 and infor-mation about changes of the regional seismic regime since 2006 are given. The seismicity in the Ural is unique as it is presented by a wide spectrum of natural earthquakes (tectonic, earthquakes due to collapse, impact) as well as induced earthquakes (explosions, rock falls, rockbursts). Whereby the number of explosions in the region predominates among other seismic events, the number of rockbursts is much more than tectonic earth-quakes. A structural ordering can be seen for tectonic earthquakes. They tend to the basic geologic structure of the region to the Main Ural Fault. The induced events tend to mining regions. Also, there is a weak scat-tered seismicity that is typical for platform territories. Acting since 1999 the regional seismic network pro-vides the representative registration on the magnitude level ML≥2.5. In general in 2013 in Ural it was regis-tered 173 seismic events, and their basic seismic parameters were determined. The common number of in-dustrial explosions was 173. The summarized seismic explosions energy was 3.99E+9 Joules. The number of rockbursts was 29; their seismic energy was 2.82E+9 Joules. The five tectonic earthquakes made the min-imal contribution to the seismicity of the region. The unique event registered by seismic network was the ex-plosion of Chelyabinsk meteorite, and its parameters are shown in the article. Parameters of all mentioned above seismic events are presented in catalogue. The strongest events with ML≥3.0 including Chelyabinsk meteorite explosion, are considered separately, including their seismograms and parameters provided by other international seismic centers. The article shows the map with the actual locations of regional seismic stations and event epicenters in 2013. Generally the seismic regime of the region in 2013 was quite calm; the summarized seismic explosions energy was low. The trend to the seismic activity decay continues since 2010. The location of the natural and induced seismic events in space confirms the active zones previously determined.

Macroseismic Effect

A review of the Sakhalin seismicity in 2014 based on the data of regional network is given. The network included four stationary and ten temporary digital seismic stations. This network was supported by ten stations of local network operating in the south of Sakhalin. Parameters of 450 seismic events, including 25 explosions, and focal mechanisms for 4 events are determined. 22 earthquakes had a macroseismic effect. The map of earthquake completeness and the map of epicenters are given. The distribution of crust and deep earthquakes on magnitude and their summarized energy for seven seismoactive areas in comparison with average parameters for 2001–2013 are presented. For each area and the region as a whole, an analysis of the seismic regime parameters in 2014 in comparison with long-term parameters is given, tangible and strong earthquakes are described. The seismicity of the Sakhalin region in 2014 can be characterized as a moderate one. Somewhat increased seismic activity was recorded in the East Sakhalin and Southeastern areas.
