Abstract The Mw = 5.4 Roermond earthquake of April 13, 1992, is used as a 'test' earthquake for the development of source inversion methods at a regional scale in Europe. We combine structural modelling of the European continent (Du et al., 1997) with two source inversion methods derived from Sileny et al. (1992), and Mao et al. (1994). We show that following this strategy, it is possible to fully analyze the inverse problem of the hypocentral relocation, source mechanism and rupture history. We define and discuss our methodology on the basis of the inverse problem and of the associated tools. The results of our application to the Roermond earthquake are discussed in the light of other previously published solutions. Such an approach appears to offer a promising tool for the global description of seismic sources in regions well studied from the structural point of view, through waveform inversion of a few regional records.
