Crowdsourced macroseismic data provide an important complement to instrumental earthquake catalogues, especially where the spatial distribution of felt effects is influenced by population density, local site conditions and building vulnerability. This study presents a preliminary intensity-distance attenuation analysis based on EMSC crowdsourced macroseismic reports for Albania and nearby border areas during 2012-2026. The compiled database contains 694 earthquakes and 212,140 corrected macroseismic intensity poin...

The orogeny in Albania and its surrounding, in collision with Adria microplate is divided in two domains of a different present-day tectonic regimes: the external domain with a compressional regime and the internal domain with an extensional regime. Two main fault systems are distinguished: 1) the longitudinal fault system, trending NW-SE up to NNW-SSE, represented by thrust and reverse faults, and 2) the traversal fault system NE-SW trending represented by strike-slip. The Lushnje-Elbasan transversal fault, in th...
