The World Stress Map (WSM) database is a global compilation of recent tectonic stress from a wide range of stress indicators. Earthquake focal mechanisms are the main source to obtain stress data for the WSM. Globally, for most of the stronger earthquakes (MW > 5.5) focal mechanisms are routinely given by Harvard CMT-solutions. However, for the numerous earthquakes of smaller magnitude focal mechanism solutions are hardly available. We developed a semi-automatic and frequency sensitive...
