%T Seismic Monitoring of Poland – Description and Results of Temporary Seismic Project with Mobile Seismic Network
%X The paper describes a temporary seismic project aimed at developing
the national database of natural seismic activity for seismic hazard
assessment, officially called “Monitoring of Seismic Hazard of Territory
of Poland” (MSHTP). Due to low seismicity of Poland, the project was
focused on events of magnitude range 1-3 in selected regions in order to
maximize the chance of recording any natural event. The project used
mobile seismic stations and was divided into two stages.
Five-year measurements brought over one hundred natural seismic
events of magnitudes ML range 0.5-3.8. Most of them were located in the
Podhale region in the Carpathians. Together with previously recorded
events this made it possible to conduct a preliminary study on ground
motion prediction equation for this region. Only one natural event, of
magnitude ML = 3.8, was recorded outside the Carpathians in a surprising
location in central-west Poland.
