Abstract

In this study seismogenic nodes capable to generate earthquakes with magnitudes M ≥ 6 are identified for the territory of Bulgaria and adjacent areas. Definition of nodes is based on a morphostructural zonation. Pattern recognition algorithm Cora-3 is applied to identify the seismogenic nodes, characterized by specific geological and geophysical data. The pattern recognition method is trained on information for 30 seismic events with M ≥ 6 for the period 29 BC–2020, selected from historical and instrumental Bulgarian earthquake catalogues. As a result, 56 seismogenic nodes are recognized, most of them in southwestern Bulgaria.
