Abstract

Locations of earthquakes that have occurred between 1970 and 1988 in the northwest Himalaya of Pakistan, as computed by the ISC, were analyzed to improve knowledge of the spatial distribution of seismicity near the Nanga Parbat‐Haramosh Massif (NPHM). A set of 15 earthquakes were relocated using the multiple‐event relocation technique of Jordan and Sverdrup [1981]. Earthquakes located using records from at least 25 to 30 stations tend to be well‐located in the ISC database: smaller error ellipses and shorter distance of relocation. These analyses indicate that earthquakes with magnitudes mb > 4.0 have occurred since 1970 along the NPHM.
