Contents of Part 1
More earthquake related sites - in alphabetical order
Links to Global Seismic Network and other USGS Seismology pages.
This site contains links to Southern California Seismic Network data (maps and indices to FTP
data) , and has a record of the day (or week), previous records of the day accessed via a
"clickable" map, a map of 1100 epicenters from 1990-1996 on a colored relief map, list of
named southern California earthquakes (1971-1994). Lots of lists and maps of earthquake
information. Includes a book, "Putting Down Roots in Earthquake Country".
This bilingual site (French and English) has maps and lists of Canadian earthquakes, as well as information on
nuclear test ban seismology. See plots and lists of recent Canadian earthquakes.
CNSS is an oganization of institutions involved in seismic monitoring in the
United States.
A worldwide earthquake catalog compiled from numerous sources. Site can be searched by using web-based form. Includes earthquake lists and maps, including global compilations of large earthquakes over 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 years, along with plate boundary and hot spot maps.
General information on research and education. A highlight is the Steinbrugge earthquake
image collection.
Helpful information on earthquake preparedness, what to do during and after an earthquake,
and basic information on earthquakes.
IRIS is a consortium of more than 90 institutions. It oversees the Global Seismic Network.
IRIS Spyder
http://www.iris.washington.edu/HTM/spyder.htm
SPYDER stands for "System to Provide You Data from Earthquakes Rapidly". Page has links to recent epicenter maps and earthquake lists.
This bilingual site (Japanese and English) describes the Japanese networks that judge the destructive potential of an earthquake based on the relation between magnitude and distance to epicenter, and issue warnings within 4 seconds.
This site, which contains fault maps and earthquake hazard maps for various neighborhoods in the San Francisco area, was compiled by a real estate agent in the San Francisco area.
Information about research projects at Lamont, with links to Lamont Cooperative Seismic Network (LCSN), IRIS/PASSCAL software, and NCEER Earthquake Strong Motion Database.
Information on Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, research on earthquake alert and early
warning systems, monitoring earthquakes in Middle East and North Africa.
Has information on WinQuake event-viewing software and links to other public seismic
network sites.
This is a great site with basic background material on plate tectonics, the Earth's interior,
seismic waves, seismographs, earthquake effects, recent earthquake information and maps,
maps and images of the Kobe earthquake, links to press releases on earthquakes, an interactive
form on which you can submit information about an earthquake you have felt, and a web
camera showing drum seismographs (helicorders) drawing current seismograms. This site also
contains the Seismo-Watch map for Nevada, and links to more resources: http://www.seismo.unr.edu/htdocs/info.html
This site has earthquake lists and large scale earthquake maps of New England. Of particular
interest is a map showing earthquakes in New England from 1638-1995.
Earthquake catalogs and data, information on recent notable earthquakes, and links to other
sites.
Lots of information about earthquakes. Display a real time seismogram from over 130 seigmograph stations in Washington and Oregon (requires x-windows server). Local and worldwide earthquake lists and epicenter maps.
This site has earthquake data files, software to download, Public Seismic Network information, and other earthquake related links.
This multi-lingual site includes latest earthquakes report and information on nuclear test ban
treaties. (Note that nuclear tests produce seismic records similar to those of earthquakes.)
Seismo-Watch
http://www.seismo-watch.com/
This site has quick links to current earthquake and volcano information (global and regional U.S.).
Seismo-Watch provides earthquake information to the media and produces a weekly newsletter, EQnews, of regional and worldwide earthquake maps and information. Site includes a questionnaire to report felt earthquakes.
Contains, news, meeting information, publication lists, and links to other resources, including
teacher resources.
This site has daily seismograms from Tucson (TUC), maps of recent seismicity updated hourly
(both global and NE Pacific Rim) with colored dots indicating depth, interactive forms to
create your own seismograms (you supply time and date), research, and a list of the top 10
recent seismograms. Has links to information on AZPEPP (Arizona PEPP).
This page has links to USGS pages on earthquakes, hazard-related fact sheets, and links to the Hazards Home Page (tsunami, volcanoes, wildfire, landslides. coastal storms, floods, etc.).
Information on earthquakes and other hazards. Links to National Seismic Hazards Mapping project. Neotectonics (active deformation) and paleoseismology (prehistoric earthquakes). Pictures from the Northridge earthquake.
Main page of the USGS earthquake information site. Links to latest earthquake information,
earthquake hazards and preparedness, studying earthquakes and other resources.
This site has information on current earthquake activity in northern
California, earthquake of the week (data, maps and seismograms), and weekly seismicity maps
(northern California and global). Has good maps of the San Francisco Bay area faults with
seismicity from 1980-1995, and information of the historical seismicity of the area.
Earthquake hazard maps. Has interactive "make your own seismogram" and searchable global
earthquake catalog". Several earthquake movies. Teacher resources. A great site to
visit.
Links to other sites and newsgroups. Information on the Kobe earthquake.
Specializing in earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), this site has earthquake catalogs, earthquake and fault maps, and tsunami and volcano information. Also global data.
