Great Charts.

Everyone is looking for "The Clue" that will let us predict when and where the next eq will be. Maybe we can find it - at least we are looking...seems the scientific community just pooh-poohs the idea.

I just downloaded the GEE (Global Earthquake Explorer) software, and wanted to share it with the rest of you in case you have never heard of it.

From the website:

GEE is an education and outreach tool for seismology that aims to make it easy for non-seismologists to retrieve, display and analyze seismic data. It is intended for use in a classroom setting as a supplement to textbook material, which often lacks real world connections. Novices to the world of seismology can use GEE to explore earthquakes they've seen in the headlines, keep track of a recording station in their area, look at real-time seismic data, and more!

GEE Software

I also wanted to ask any of you that do use it what you like/dislike about it. I haven't really had the time to use all the features yet, but it seems pretty cool so far.

Take care and happy researching!

If you're using GEE a good station to watch the S.Cali/Baja quakes coming in is CI.SWS

Been playing with it for a while now - still learning! Particularly the loading of additional stations and networks etc..

Rock my world - here we go - Wishing everyone saftey - my prayers to you and yours

This has probably been questioned before but i dont want to search through 2376 posts .The quake depth of a lot of these quakes is 10k's, is that just a depth they give to approximate the quakes they are'nt sure about or just a common depth they occur at ?Please excuse my ignorance.

reply to post by 12voltz


Yes, that is an approximate until seismoligist can take a good look at it.

Local news reporting Taiwan quake

There were no tsunami warnings issued but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said local tsunamis on coastlines within 100 km (60 miles) of the quake's centre were possible.
