Results of local seismological monitoring in the Lena delta region

Refinement of the geodynamic situation in the area of the Lena River delta is relevant for understanding local geological processes. Previously, source seismology for this area was provided only by remote regional seismic stations. This paper shows the results of processing data from detailed seismological observations for 2018–2021. The distribution of earthquake hypocenters and their focal mechanisms are presented. The results of processing largely confirm the a priori geological data and do not contradict the results of regional observations. The accumulation of earthquakes in the area of the Kharaulakh Range most likely refers to the Primorsky Fault, which extends along the coast of the Bykovskaya channel. According to geological studies, the Primorsky Fault is a fault, which is confirmed by the focal mechanisms of earthquake sources in this area.
