Description

Introduction of new sensitive broadband seismographs, new dense seismic networks, and new methods of signal processing lead to the breakthrough in triggering and synchronization studies and formation of a new important domain of earthquake seismology, related to dynamic triggering of local seismicity by wave trains from remote strong earthquakes. Considered in the paper are the peculiarities of triggered seismicity in Georgia on the example of 11.03.2011 great Tohoku earthquake in Japan (M=9) and moderate earthquake in East Greece (09.03.2011).
