More seismicity information (Moment tensors, phases pickings, etc.)

Bird, P. (2003) An updated digital model of plate boundaries,
Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 4(3), 1027.

This seismicity maps have been generated by concatenating the ISC catalogue (since 1964), the EMSC Euro-Med Bulletin catalogue and the EMSC Real Time catalogue. Therefore, they show the seismicity from 1964 until the earthquake occurrence.
