Abstract

Recent studies have claimed that two of the largest earthquakes in Fennoscandia, in 1759 and 1819, should have their magnitudes reduced by 0.5 and approximately 1 Ms units, respectively. It is shown that there is no cause for these downgradings in the macroseismic data and the implications of reduced seismic hazard and risk for Fennoscandia are unwarranted. <copyright> 2004 Elsevier B.
