"We study the 20 October 2004 Mw 4.4 Rotenburg (Wumme)/Neuenkirchen earthquake, located in a previously aseismic region in the northern German\r\nsedimentary basin. We constrain the source parameter by using different techniques.\r\nA possible relationship between this event, the regional tectonic setting, and local\r\ngas recovery is investigated. Different waveform inversion and modeling approaches\r\nconstrain the depth of the mainshock between 5 and 7 km. The source mechanism\r\nwas oblique normal faulting on planes striking roughly north–south. An inversion\r\nfor kinematic rupture parameters indicates a unilateral rupture propagation toward\r\nthe north, consistent with the higher macroseismic intensities found toward the north\r\nin the region of Hamburg compared with those at a similar distance toward the south\r\nin the region of Hannover. Relocations of the mainshock and three of the largest\r\naftershocks indicate that these events occurred within a few kilometers of three major\r\ngas fields and at depth close to gas production intervals. Comparison with seismicity\r\ntriggered in the northern Netherlands by depletion of similar gas reservoirs in a\r\nsimilar tectonic environment suggests that the Mw 4.4 Rotenburg event may be related\r\nto gas recovery."^^ .
