Abstract
We present a refined and the most complete catalogue of the focal mechanisms for the Intra-Carpathian region of Romania. It contains the high-quality solutions computed for 1217 earthquakes recorded between 1909 and 2018. Primary data gathered from the original seismograms and seismic bulletins have been used to compute the source parameters and focal mechanisms solutions. The focal mechanisms have been obtained using the HASH method by the polarities and S/P amplitudes ratios inversion. Our catalogue provides data necessary for the investigation of the contemporary stress field at different scales with high spatial and temporal resolution. We determined the stress field characteristics through formal inversion of focal mechanisms and also computed the reactivation potential of the active fault systems using the Win‑Tensor program. The stress field is heterogeneous, with SHmax significantly deviating from the first-order stress field direction and also with strong local variations in the stress regime.
