Description

Present databases are results of the article Seismo-tectonics of Greater Iberia: An updated review.

Authors:Olaiz, A., Álvarez Gómez, J.A., De Vicente, G., Muñoz-Martín, A., Cantavella, J.V., Custódio, S., Vales, D. and Heidbach, O.

Current status: under review in Solid Earth

The file focal mechanism is a compilation of the moment tensor focal mechanisms in Iberia. It contains 472 events, including 9 new focal mechanisms. 

The World Stress Map database is an updated version of the last database published in 2016. The focal mechanisms have been added and categorized according to WSM quality standards.
