Fennoscandian Earthquakes, 1951 − 1985

In the period from 1977 to 1991, four issues of "Fennoscandian Earthquakes" were published in the series "Materials of the World Data Center B", published by the Soviet Geophysical Committee of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The author of these publications is Georgy Danilovich Panasenko, the creator of the seismic station "Apatity" in the Kola branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
The publications present data on earthquakes recorded in Fennoscandia during the period 1951−1985, information on seismic stations operating in the region during this period, and descriptions of the features of the Fennoscandia seismic region.
The data set presented in these publications is a continuation in time of the information on Fennoscandia earthquakes contained in the works [Bath, 1956; Gorshkov, 1947; Panasenko, 1957а, 1957б].
In the WDC for SEP, earthquake catalogues included in four publications "Earthquakes of Fennoscandia" were converted into electronic form and combined into a single catalogue containing data on 2024 seismic events in the territory with coordinates 54.5−73.3° N, 0.3−39.7° E
The catalogue includes the main parameters of earthquakes: time of occurrence, epicenter coordinates with an assessment of the accuracy of their determination, depth of the source, intensity, and magnitude.
