We obtained seismic moment tensor solutions of ten events from the June 1987 earthquake swarm, which occurred along the Kalabsha fault zone in the northern part of the Lake Aswan area in Egypt. In addition, the composite fault plane solution of this sequence was also calculated. The waveform data were obtained from the Aswan seismological network, which consists of 13 field stations with short period seismometers GS-13. The June 1987 swarm was a sequence of microearthquakes (M ≤ 3.4),...
