The Berkovići (BIH) ML = 6.0 earthquake sequence from 22 April 2022
In the southern External Dinarides, and in the SE of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Berkovići earthquake sequence started with the mainshock on 22 April 2022 21:07 UTC at focal depth 22 km with magnitude ML = 6.0 (Mw = 5.7). Preliminary estimation of the mainshock’s maximum intensity is VII EMS for Berkovići where 29% of buildings were damaged, and in Stolac a 28 y. o. woman lost her life to a rockfall caused by an earthquake. We analysed the first nine months, 22 April 2022 – 22 January 2023, of this sequence: seismicity and focal mechanisms, and we constructed a regional seismotectonic cross-section to delineate a potential seismogenic source of the mainshock.
Iva Dasović is an Associate Professor at the Andrija Mohorovičić Geophysical Institute, Department of Geophysics, at the University of Zagreb. She is visiting the department until 11th July, so if you would like to talk to her during that time please do not hesitate to get in touch, e.g., during the Geolunch, by email or in her temporary office 2F13c. This visit is organized as part of the CRONOS project that focuses on the Investigation of seismically vulnerable areas in Croatia and seismic ground motion assessment, and where Stéphane is involved as a partner here from GEO.
