Focal mechanisms of the Southeastern Alps and surroundings

We report the focal mechanisms (FPS) of earthquakes that occurred in the southeastern Alps and surrounding areas (latitude ~ 45°N-47.5°N and longitude ~ 10°E-15°E) from 1928 to 2023.

The FPS have been collected and revised from literature or, depending on data availability, newly computed both by first polarities inversion or by means of seismic moment tensor.
