Abstract
The seismicity of Pribaikalye and Transbaikalia in 2013 is reviewed. 6706 earthquakes with КР≥5.6 were recorded there during that year. Most of them (92 %) are located in the Baikal rift zone. The high degree of clustering of seismic events is observed in South Baikal and Baikal-Muja areas. The largest earthquake with Mw=4.3 was in the Baikal-Muja area. Focal mechanisms of 47 earthquakes (КР9.6) were determined in 2013. Most of them correspond to normal faults, with strike-slip component contribution in some cases. Overall, the rate of seismic activity observed in Pribaikalye and Transbaikalia in 2013 was low.
