Description: |
Data set of 189 earthquakes, 221 mining induced
events from the Kiruna mine and 221 blasts from the Kiruna mine, recorded by
seismic stations of the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) and
neighbouring countries. The earthquakes are mostly located to the west of
Kiruna town, along the Pärvie post-glacial fault. The data contains event
information (origin time, latitude, longitude, depth magnitude), waveform
data, station information and instrument response information. |
