2004 Earthquake Sequence,
SE of Lakeview, OR
This is an special web page produced to give essential information about an ongoing earthquake sequence and previous earthquake activity in the region. Information here will be updated as the sequence progresses. The "main shock" shown here refers to the magnitude 4.4 earthquake of Wednesday June 30, 2004 at 05:21:45.80 AM (PDT)
Note that the epicenters shown here are preliminary. This area in southeast Oregon
has few seismographs and
falls outside of the earthquake region that the PNSN normally covers (this area is normally
covered by the NEIC ). However, to make the
epicenter map as accurate as possible we have integrated seismic data from the
PNSN, the USGS, and the University of California, Berkeley. The map below,
showing routinely processed locations, indicates
an apparent N-S scatter of epicenters
that is misleading. The N-S scatter is caused by the
fact that most seismograph stations are located to the west; there
are very few seismic stations north and south of the epicenters in this
region. A more careful analysis shows that almost all of the epicenters
are actually located at one spot.
Earthquakes in the sequence -
The following information will be updated as new earthquakes occur.
Included are:
- An Earthquake Catalog listing the location and magnitude of all earthquakes we have located in the epicentral region (including the mainshock and any aftershocks) for the current year.
- Seismic Activity as a function of time in the epicentral region since the time of the mainshock.
