Abstract

We have investigated the seismicity of Libya in order to understand better the earthquake hazards, the tectonics of the region, and the present-day evolution of the Sirt basin. We first relocated all events occurring between 1931 and 1988 using a bootstrap location technique. We then determined focal mechanisms from firstmotion data. Finally, we used waveform modelling techniques to determine source parameters for the 1935 main shock and its two largest aftershocks.
