QVS Data

Each region contains links (underlined) for earthquake listings and volcano sites etc that are relevant to that region. If the item is not underlined there is no information for that area yet. Use the navigation links below to go directly to a region, or you can also use the navigation on the right hand side. Web cams and Seismos have their own pages. See menu or links below. All links open in this page.

Worldwide sites with listings/graphics of earthquakes
European-Metiterranean Seismological Centre	Listing for world wide events of approx mag 4+ and for local European events down to mag 2.0
US Geological Survey	7 day listing for world wide events of approx mag 4.5+ and for local US events down to mag 2.5
US Geological Survey Beta Map	7 day listing for world wide events of approx mag 4.5+ and for local US events down to mag 2.5
US Geological Survey	7 day animation for world wide events of approx mag 4.5+ and for local US events down to mag 2.5. Basically an animation of the above listing.
USGS 8-30 days map/list	Map and listing of 4.0+ worldwide and 2.5+ US quakes between 8 and 30 days ago.
Worldwide Earthquake Stats	This site is just a mass of present and past earthquake information. Seriously recommended.
IRIS 30 Day Worldwide List	Earthquakes Worldwide in the Last 30 Days (of magnitude >= 4.0) DATE links are into the IRIS WILBER system where you can see seismograms and request datasets.
WILBUR II 90 Day Worldwide Interactive.	The map below displays events containing FARM and SPYDER® data for the last 90 days or the selected quarter. The data resides in IRIS DMC’s POND archive. Note: This leads to downloads of SAC and other files. You need to have software to use these. The lists are handy however. If you go as far as the stations page you can still get seismograms of the event by clicking the station code.
Geofon Global Monitor	Automatic GEOFON Global Seismic Monitor. Automated information from the worldwide Geofon network.
Global CMT Catalog	Global CMT Catalog Search. Date constraints: catalog starts in 1976 and goes through present (can be about 4 months behind) The item below is the same, but is the up to date quick solutions.
LDEO Seismology Research	Surface-wave event locations derived from Near Real Time Data The map shows the locations of surface-wave sources identified by a systematic analysis of seismograms from the Global Seismographic Network and from other seismographic networks and stations. The figure shows the detections for the last week and is updated a few times daily.
Geoscience Australia	Listing of Australian and worldwide earthquakes. For specific customisable lists please see the alternative listed under Oceania – Australia below.
Russian Academy of Sciences – Geophysical Survey	Another worldwide listing with interactive map. Also give access to older catalogues.
China Earthquake Networks Centre	(In Chinese) There are some good historical maps and graphs in the links.
Significant Earthquake and News Headlines	Archived information going back many years. These archived web pages should generally not be considered to have the most up-to-date, authoritative information and images for each earthquake. See link on page.
Live Earthquake Mashup	Earthquakes around the world on a mapping system.
RSOE EDIS	Disaster and Emergency service listings covering earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, chemicals hazards and much more.
Wikipedia Earthquakes in 2011	A listing of Mag 6+ or large earthquakes where fatalities occurred.Please be aware when using this list that the entries are NOT accurate and are drawn from several sources with no regard whatsoever for magnitude types etc hence they are showing, for example, a 6.5 ML in NZ in July which is the GeoNet magnitude whereas USGS and EMSC have it at 5.3Mb, but none of this is mentioned. But it has pretty flags!

Volcano Webs and Blogs
SI / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report	Smithsonian updates on volcanoes weekly (on Wednesdays)
Elevated Activity [USGS]	Elevated activity on volcanoes in the United States including Alaska and Hawaii
Eruptions! Blog	This is a blog dedicated to volcanism. Your host is Erik Klemetti, an assistant professor of geosciences at Denison University
Volcano Live (John Search)	Monitoring worldwide volcanic activity on the internet since 2000
The Volcanism Blog	This is a blog about volcanism, volcanoes and volcanology (that used to be vulcanology!), on Earth and elsewhere in the Solar System. It’s a place for volcano news, analysis and information, not only about the science of volcanism but also its place in human culture, society and history.
Volcano Discovery	Whilst this is a site set up for selling tours to view volcanoes it nevertheless is a good informative site under German ownership. I mention that as a few German elements do creep into the English side on occasions.
NASA ASTER	Volcano satellite images archive
World Organisation Of Volcano Observatories Members List.	This is based on the 2005 edition of the WOVO Directory. Member observatories are listed in alphabetical order: the numbering scheme of the Catalogue of Active Volcanoes of the World, and of Simkin and Siebert (1994) Volcanoes of the World is shown when hovering over the links.

Tsunami Report Centres
NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warnings	Disaster and Emergency service listings covering earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, chemicals hazards and much more.
Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre	Tsunami warnings around the Australian coastline.
RSOE EDIS	Disaster and Emergency service listings covering earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, chemicals hazards and much more.
Philippines Tsunami Bulletin / Advisory	Gives detail of quake and a link to the tsunami report. The report is a PDF file.

Worldwide Data download/links
USGS Catalogs	Page with various text, KML and RSS downloads/feeds
ANSS Data Catalog	Earthquake data from around the world going back to 1898
USGS Circular Search	Search for earthquakes based on a central starting point.
CNEC Catalog	This site is in Chinese so if you do not read Chinese be prepared to experiment with buttons!! Particularly good about this catalogue is the range of magnitude types they provide.(Ms, Ms7, mL, mb, mB)

Above Top Secret forums discussing Earthquakes and Volcanoes
ATS Quake Watch 2011	Discussions and notification of earthquakes around the world, and of anomalies. This link goes to the last page.
ATS Volcano Watch 2011	Discussions about volcanoes around the world and information on helicorders and the current state of the volcano world! This link goes to the last page.
Volcanoes In Iceland	Discussions about volcanoes on the Island of Iceland – hosted by an Icelander. This link goes to the last page.
What’s going on at Yellowstone?	This is a massive thread! When this link was added it was running at 634 pages. There is a huge amount of information to be gleaned from within the pages. At some stage I may add a précis page to this site. The link takes you to the last page. (phew!)
Geophysics – Discussion & Research (Link to last page)	Intro By Zenius: It is hoped that this thread will be used to discuss and share research and ideas about tectonics, magmas, volcanism and where applicable, the hydrological and atmospheric systems. It will be a thread where people can ask questions and hopefully find answers. There has been much activity happening around the globe lately and many people may be interested in the history of an area or what contributing factors or flow on effects of activity may be.

The QVS Data Program from DA Software.
Download the program – sorry not just yet.	Facilities to automatically download earthquakes from the USGS listings, the EMSC listings and from GeoNet New Zealand. Being added at present is Iceland and others will follow rapidly. The program will be released very soon. There are still a few minor bugs to iron out and the help files to complete.

Useful tools and other stuff
Convert Latitude and Longitude	Convert Latitude and Longitude to and from the decimal form.
World Clock Web Site	Access to the time zones of the world and much more.
Antipodes Map	Find the exact opposite point on the globe
How much bigger?	USGS how much bigger calculator. Compares the relative strength of two earthquakes
Earthquake P wave travel time calculator	USGS. Quite handy as you can set up a specific station and it will save the information in a coolie so next time it is still there.
GEE – Global Earthquake Explorer.	GEE is an education and outreach tool for seismology that aims to make it easy for non-seismologists to retrieve, display and analyse seismic data.
