The 30 June 2017 North Sea Earthquake: Location, Characteristics, and Context
Jerkins, Annie; Shiddiqi, Hasbi Ash; Kværna, Tormod; Gibbons, Steven John; Schweitzer, Johannes; Ottemöller, Lars; Bungum, Hilmar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Mw 4.5 southern Viking graben earthquake on 30 June 2017 was one of the largest seismic events in the Norwegian part of the North Sea during the last century. It was well recorded on surrounding broadband seismic ... -
Ambient noise levels and detection threshold in Norway
Demuth, Andrea; Ottemöller, Lars; Keers, Henk (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Ambient seismic noise is caused by a number of sources in specific frequency bands. The quantification of ambient noise makes it possible to evaluate station and network performance. We evaluate noise levels in Norway from ... -

EPOS Seismology was developed alongside the build-up ... -
Crustal structure and intraplate seismicity in Nordland, Northern Norway: insight from seismic tomography
Shiddiqi, Hasbi Ash; Ottemöller, Lars; Rondenay, Stephane; Halpaap, Felix Julian; Gradmann, Sofie; Michalek, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Nordland region, Northern Norway, situated in an intraplate continental setting, has the highest seismicity rate in mainland Norway. However, the exact cause of seismicity in this region is still debated. Better ... -
Earthquakes track subduction fluids from slab source to mantle wedge sink
Halpaap, Felix; Rondenay, Stéphane; Perrin, Alexander; Goes, Saskia; Ottemöller, Lars; Austrheim, Håkon; Shaw, Robert; Eeken, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth’s mantle and occasionally rupture to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly related. By combining seismic ... -
Extending local magnitude ML to short distances
Luckett, Richard; Ottemöller, Lars; Butcher, Antony; Baptie, Brian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Local magnitudes calculated at stations less than 10 km from earthquakes in the British Isles are up to one unit of magnitude higher than local magnitudes calculated at more distant stations. This causes a considerable ... -
Implications of 3D Seismic Raytracing on Focal Mechanism Determination
Newrkla, Katharina; Shiddiqi, Hasbi Ash; Jerkins, Annie; Keers, Henk; Ottemöller, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The purpose of this study is to investigate apparent first‐motion polarities mismatch at teleseismic distances in the determination of focal mechanism. We implement and compare four seismic raytracing algorithms to compute ... -
Improved seismic monitoring with OBS deployment in the Arctic: A pilot study from offshore western Svalbard
Jeddi, Zeinab; Ottemöller, Lars; Sørensen, Mathilde Bøttger; Rezaei, Sara; Gibbons, Steven John; Strømme, Marte L.; Voss, Peter H.; Dahl-Jensen, Trine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The mid‐ocean ridge system is the main source of earthquakes within the Arctic region. The earthquakes are recorded on the permanent land‐based stations in the region, although, smaller earthquakes remain undetected. In ... -
Minimum 1D velocity model and local magnitude scale for Myanmar
Shiddiqi, Hasbi Ash; Tun, Pa Pa; Ottemöller, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Earthquake monitoring in Myanmar has improved in recent years because of an increased number of seismic stations. This provides a good quality dataset to derive a minimum 1D velocity model and local magnitude (ML) scale ... -
The Moho Architecture and Its Role for Isostasy—Insights From the Lofoten-Vesterålen Rifted Margin, Norway
Schiffer, Christian; Rondenay, Stephane; Ottemöller, Lars; Drottning, Anne Furubotten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The crustal structure of the Nordland and Troms region, Norway, has received growing scientific attention because (a) the region is one of the most seismically active areas of mainland Norway, and (b) there are differing ... -
