Catalog of Earthquakes
Catalog of Earthquakes : A chronological listing of earthquakes. Early catalogs were purely descriptive, i.e., they gave the location and date of each earthquake and some description of its effects. Modern catalogs are usually quantitative, i.e., earthquakes are listed as a set of numerical parameters describing origin time, hypocenter location, magnitude, moment tensor, etc. See: Engdahl and Villasenor (2002) for an instrumentally determined earthquake catalog (1900-1999), Utsu (2002a) for a catalog of deadly earthquakes (1500-2000), and Ambraseys et al. (2002, p. 759- 761) and Schweitzer and Lee (2003) for a discussion of historical and modern earthquake catalogs and seismic bulletins
