The present Earthquake Bulletin is a united annual summary report of all Hungarian earthquake monitoring projects. For the first time, this network made it possible to detect and locate such small magnitude local seismic events that it is very unlikely so as to felt events go undetected in most parts of the country. installed a network of high quality digital seismographs, following the recommendations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The developing database of well-located earthquakes can be used, in one hand, to resolve the tectonic framework and required on the other hand to refine our understanding of the level of seismic risk.ġ995 was a milestone in the history of Hungarian seismological observations. Only modern seismic monitoring networks, capable of locating small magnitude local earthquakes provide the necessary information to close this knowledge gap. While good information about larger historical earthquakes exists for about the past few hundred years, these are not well enough located. To be useful, accurately located earthquakes are required. Moreover, as one of the chief contributor to seismic hazard at a given area, detailed knowledge of seismicity also plays an important role in earthquake risk reduction. However, low and moderate seismicity at intraplate areas generally precludes reliable statistical correlation between epicenters and geological features. Earthquakes represent the sudden release of slowly accumulated strain energy and hence provide direct evidence of active tectonic processes. The study of the recent seismicity is an important element of seismotectonic research. These observations indicate that magnitude 6.0-6.5 earthquakes are possible but not frequent in the Pannonian basin (Tóth et al., 2002b). 1763 Komárom earthquake, M 6.2 1911 Kecskemét earthquake, M 5.6) and sometimes the possibility of surface fault rupture (e.g. Moderate seismicity does not necessarily mean moderate size of earthquakes: reports of major earthquakes often refer to heavy building damage, liquefaction (e.g. Komárom and Mór area (47.4-47.8N 18.2E), Jászberény (47.5N 20.0E), Kecskemét (46.9N 19.7E) and Dunaharaszti (47.4 19.0E) also produced significant activity over a certain but limited period of time. For example, near to Eger (47.9N 20.4E) at least sixteen earthquakes with more than fifty greater aftershocks occurred over a time interval of some 70 years. It is particularly difficult to decide whether the epicenters occur at isolated places or along elongated zones however, at several single places earthquakes occur repeatedly. Seismicity in the Pannonian basin is relatively low comparing to the peripherals and the distribution of earthquake epicenters shows a rather scattered pattern at the first glance.
