The Konitsa cluster is named for the town of Konitsa in northwestern
Greece, near the border with Albania. The cluster was motivated by a 5.5
Mw earthquake on March 8, 2026 and includes a 5.6 mb event on October
13, 1969 and several other events greater than magnitude 5.0. All events
are observed to teleseismic distances and all events have depth
constraint, mainly from near-source and local-distance observations. The
depths of several early events are constrained by teleseismic depth
phases. Two events with near-source observations are deep, around 60 km,
but the remainder are at crustal depths between about 5 and 25 km. The
distribution of stations is excellent and location calibration is very
robust.
