A significant seismic sequence started on 13 Feb. 2023 at 14:58 GMT with a mainshock of 5.2 ML located at 17 km depth and at 14 km distance NW from Targu Jiu city. The first shock was followed by 16 aftershocks with magnitudes between 2.1 and 3.4 after which a second mainshock of magnitude 5.7 was triggered next day, 14 Feb., at 13:16 GMT. The largest acceleration at the second shock (105.25 cm/s2) was recorded at Gura Zlata station as well. The seismic events hypocenters are established by several methods. First ...

The most important products of the seismological network are complete and reliable earthquake catalogs. Detecting earthquakes over an extended scale, from smallest magnitudes to large events is a critical issue in many studies, such as earthquake statistics, source seismology and seismic hazard. During the last years, the seismic network of Romanian has developed by increasing the number of stations and station coverage. Despite the significant improvement, the coverage is still not uniform all over the Romanian t...
