About

Seismoscope is designed as a fast and simple way view recent earthquakes near you, particularly for Australia. Earthquake data is sourced from the Seismology Research Centre (SRC, for the last 30 days), Geoscience Australia (GA, for the last week), Earth Sciences New Zealand (GeoNet, last 100 events), GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences (GFZ, for the last week), and from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS, for the last 24 hours). Earthquakes that have occurred in the last 3 hours pulsate to highlight recent activity. For ease of interpretation, earthquakes are colour-coded as well as being sized by magnitude. Links to report Australian earthquakes to GA are available directly in the app, as are links to report GeoNet, USGS and GFZ events to their respective reporting pages.
