The Problems of Declustering in the Processing of Seismic Information in the Tauro Caucasus Region

Compares five declustering methods for the Tauro-Caucasus catalogue and shows which give the most objective input for seismic hazard assessment. The analysis also revealed a migration of strong earthquakes across the region.

Site survey and assessment for the planned seismogeodynamic monitoring network in the Republic of Armenia

Measures seismic and GNSS background noise at nine candidate sites and maps the smallest earthquake the planned network can detect. This survey laid the groundwork for the CHARNET stations.
