Earthquakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2022 to 2023 recorded on the Bosnian Adria Array temporary network

Abstract

As part of the Adria Array initiative, the seismic network in Bosnia and Herzegovina was augmented with 20 additional broadband stations between June 2022 and December 2024. In this study, we describe the characteristics and deployment of this temporary network, highlighting its impact on seismic catalog quality, including a lowered detection threshold to approximately magnitude 1.0. Beyond improving event detection, we provide a comprehensive seismic catalog from June 2022 to December 2023 that demonstrates enhanced constraints on location and magnitude for larger earthquakes. Additionally, we discuss the critical role of open data sharing in this seismically active region, emphasizing its importance for accurate seismicity monitoring and reliable seismic hazard assessment
