# Integrated Earthquake Catalog of the Ossetian Sector of the Greater Caucasus
## 4 Conclusions
The results of this study once again demonstrate the fundamental importance of merging seismic data from global, national, and regional catalogs and the effectiveness of the author's developed method. **Supplementary Materials:** The following supporting information can be downloaded at: [[https://zenodo.org/records/10376769](https://zenodo.org/records/10376769)]([https://zenodo.org/records/10376769](https://zenodo.org/records/10376769)) (accessed on 27 November 2023), Figure S1: Modification of the nearest neighbor method for identifying duplicates in earthquake catalogs. Blue and gray circles are events of the main and additional catalogs, respectively, and identified pairs are shown by red arrows on the Step II panel; Figure S2: Distribution of the metric for events within the source earthquake catalogs (Table 1). The catalog name is indicated on the histogram; Figure S3: Distribution of earthquake magnitudes in space and time. **Author Contributions:** Conceptualization, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D. and A.D.G. ; Data curation, B.A.D., B.V.D., V.B.Z., N.A.S. and I.M.N. ; Formal analysis, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D. and V.B.Z. ; Funding acquisition, B.A.D. and A.D.G. ; Investigation, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D., A.D.G., V.B.Z., N.A.S. and I.M.N. ; Methodology, I.A.V. ; Project administration, B.A.D. and A.D.G. ; Resources, B.A.D., B.V.D. and A.D.G. ; Software, I.A.V. ; Supervision, B.A.D. and A.D.G. ; Validation, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D. and A.D.G. ; Visualization, I.A.V. and B.V.D. ; Writing--original draft, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D., A.D.G., V.B.Z., N.A.S. and I.M.N. ; Writing--review and editing, I.A.V., B.A.D., B.V.D., A.D.G., V.B.Z., N.A.S. and I.M.N.
