Identification

Title

Times, locations, families, and durations of earthquakes identified near Parkfield, California, USA 2020 - 2022

Abstract

This catalogue contains the times, locations, families, and durations of earthquakes identified near Parkfield, California, USA. Collected over the period of 2020 – 2022. The methodology used to identify the earthquakes is described by Huang, H., Hawthorne, J.C. Linking the scaling of tremor and slow slip near Parkfield, CA. Nat Commun 13, 5826 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-33158-3. The data provided here are also provided in the supplement of that paper. This catalogue contains the times (columns 1-2), locations (columns 3-5: latitude, longitude, and depth), families (column 6), and durations (columns 7).

Quality and validity

Lineage

To identify these earthquakes, we followed the methodology described by Huang and Hawthorne, 2022, Linking the scaling of tremor and slow slip near Parkfield, CA, published in Nature Communications. The data provided here are also provided in the supplement of that paper. To summarise, we searched earthquakes with a range of durations by (1) extracting and modifying the ground shaking observed in previous events and (2) looking for similar signals in several hundred days of seismic data. We assign durations by determined which of the modified signals best match the new observations.
