20th Century Anatolian Earthquakes Data (Macroseismic Intensities and Moment Magnitudes) for the Calibration of the "Boxer" Code (Gasperini et al., 1999; Gasperini et al., 2010)

This repository contains macroseismic data related to 15 earthquakes that occurred in Anatolia after 1900, as compiled by Şeşetyan et al. (2016). The moment magnitude (Mw) for these events, are given by the ISC-GEM (ISC, 2016; Storchak et al., 2013). These macroseismic and Mw datasets have been used for the calibration of the Boxer code (Gasperini et al., 1999; Gasperini et al., 2010). The dataset comprises a CSV file detailing the Macroseismic Data Points (MDPs) with date event (Ye: Year; Mo: Month; Da: Day; h: hour), Epicentral Area, Place Name and Macroseismic intensity (numerical).
