The Hochstaufen project: Earthquake swarms triggered by intense rainfall?
- Abstract
Earthquake swarms are thought to result from the interaction of subsurface fluids and the earth's crust. Our seismo-meteorological monitoring network observed two rainfall-induced swarm earthquake sequences. We review the observations and present first results of cluster analysis using a cross-correlation technique and relocation of the seismicity within a 3D-velocity model with topography. A south dipping structures in Hochstaufen seismicity is interpreted as hydraulically mobilized sliding surfaces which fits well to the geological bedding.
