Monitoring of earthquakes in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia, using a temporary seismometer deployment
We describe the use of a temporary seismometer deployment to monitor local earthquakes in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. 16 seismograph stations were deployed over a 200 x 100 km area, which is one of the most seismically active regions in Australia.
The instrumentation consisted of short-period and broadband Guralp seismometers combined with Reftek and Kelunji data loggers, which sample data continuously at 100-200 sps. Analysis of data from the period Sept.-Dec., 2003, resulted in the determination of hypocentres for over 175 earthquakes, most of which could not be located using PIRSA's permanent network. 54 of these earthquakes had depths resolved at 10 km or greater, and the proportion of deep events appears to increase from the southern to the northern part of the Flinders Ranges. The largest earthquake, ML-4, occurred near Hawker on 22 November, 2003, and has a depth of 17±2 km, and a well-resolved normal focal mechanism.
