The

13
years

recorded
by
the
Geophysical

was
performed
by

is

The

includes
around
30
historical
earthquakes.
The
study
on
the
derivation
of
earthquake
parameters
from
historical
intensities
is
detailed
in
this
publication
(and
completed
in
the
BSSA

paper):

For
some
small
magnitude
events,
the
depth
in
the
‘FONT’
solution
is
indicated
as
“<5”,
which
means
that
the
depth
of
the
event
is
lower
than
5,
but
is
not
exactly
determined.
This
will
be
corrected
soon.
