#Earthquake listings
5 messages in this thread
Does anyone know where I can get a listing of Earthquakes around the world for
this year and last year. Is there a database held on Cserve?
Thanks in advance,
Tony
Hi, Tony–
Welcome to the forum!
I do not know if it will have what you are after, but 800-358-2663 is a number
I picked up from earlier forum messages for USGS seismology and geomagnetic
data. Use 1200 bps and N-8-1 (no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit) modem settings.
For 9600 bps (baud) use phone 1-703-648-4168. I have not tried this myself.

Hi Tony,
here in Munich is the "Muenchener Rueckversicherungsgesellschaft", a
reinsurance company which is said to be the largest of its kind. In their
geoscientific staff they have lots of information about earthquakes around the
world as they're involved with that problem through their business (e.g.
reinsuring a football stadium in the Phillipines or things like that). I know
of all that because I did a practicum for geography there, bt I did'nt spent my
time with the geologists. I'm even unsure what they have on disk right now, but
they sure have information since the last century form all over the world!
If you're interested in that, please email me (Jochen Fuchs 100112,3132), as
I'm scanning this forum (Sysop, pardon me!<g> there's less information for
geographers here <G>) _only_ very unfrequently (last time I think must be 2
years ago… :-O )
You can also reach me via InterNet: jochen.fuchs@cyb.muc.de

comprehensive.

Don't know about a database for worldwide earthquakes, but either the U. S.
Geological Survey or the National Earthquake Center — both in Golden, Colorado
— would probably be able to tell you where.
The NEC has INCREDIBLE maps available for almost any area of the the USA,
showing size and frequency of earthquake activity by state, and also has some
really incredible fault maps, too.
I think I remember some months ago there being a message on the forum about a
database. I just can't remember what it was.
Oh … you might want to call the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena or the Earth
Sciences/Geology Department at Stanford Uni about software. I know that
Stanford is running some quite incredible predictive software which might be
outside the possibilities of anything but a mini or mainframe, but the
rockhounds and fault freaks there may be able to direct you to a great deal.
Good Hunting …
