A sequence of three strong (MW 7.2–6.4) and several moderate (MW 4.4–5.7) earthquakes struck the Pamir Plateau and surrounding mountain ranges of Tajikistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan in 2015–2017. With a local seismic network in operation in the Xinjiang province of China since August 2015 (FDSN code 8H; Yuan et al., 2018a), an aftershock network on the Pamir Plateau of Tajikistan since February 2016 (FDSN code 9H; Yuan et al., 2018b), and additional permanent regional seismic stations (FDSN code TJ; PMP International, 2005; XJ network; SEISDMC, 2021), we were able to record the succession of the fore-, main-, and aftershock sequences at local distances with good azimuthal coverage. We here provide P and S body wave arrival times of the 11,784 relocated seismic events and additional arrival times of 18,011 seismic events that could not be located with precision. The ASCII QuakeML files (.xml; https://quake.ethz.ch/quakeml/QuakeML) consist of seismic arrival times, station and network codes, nominal arrival time uncertainties, localization residuals, and corresponding preliminary event locations. The ASCII NonLinLoc Hypocenter-Phase files (.hyp; http://alomax.free.fr/nlloc/ -> Formats -> NLLoc Hypocenter-Phase file) consist of seismic arrival times, station codes, nominal arrival time uncertainties, localization residuals, ray take-off angles and corresponding preliminary event locations.
This dataset accompanies our study on tremor-like episodes that we discovered in the low-frequency seismic signals preceding the 2023 Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Türkiye. Between 12 August 2022 and 6 February 2023, eight months before the mainshock, we identified tremor-like episodes recorded at five seismic stations (NAR, KHMR, MGND, GAZ, and GZT) within a 46 km radius of the mainshock epicenter. Using seismic data from the NAR station (the closest to the mainshock) bandpass-filtered between 1.7 and 2.2 Hz, we identified the start and end times of 3741 tremor-like episodes, resulting in a catalog of 7482 markers. This catalog forms the foundation of the statistical analyses presented in Zali et al. (2025). Additionally, we manually picked the first arrival times of 162 selected pulses recorded between 24 and 31 December 2022 from these episodes across the five stations. Our analysis suggests that these tremor-like episodes originate from an anthropogenic source, likely associated with activities of cement plants located on the Narlı Fault, which hosted the earthquake epicenter. This data publication provides the catalog of start and end times for 3741 tremor-like episodes at the NAR station and the first arrival times of 162 selected pulses recorded at the five stations.
This dataset containts supplementary information for the publication "Supershear Rupture Along the Sagaing Fault Seismic Gap: The 2025 Myanmar Earthquake”, published in The Seismic Record. Specifically, it contains detailed html reports for the mainshock moment tensor inversion, all analysed aftershock moment tensor inversions, and the Pseudo-Dynamic Rupture inversion of the mainshock. Those reports include waveform misfit plots and figures showing uncertainties and parameter trade-offs.
We present a new, consistently processed seismicity catalogue for the Eastern and Southern Alps, based on the temporary dense Swath-D monitoring network. The final catalogue includes 6,053 earthquakes for the time period 2017-2019 and has a magnitude of completeness of −1.0ML. The smallest detected and located events have a magnitude of −1.7ML. Aimed at the low to moderate seismicity in the study region, we generated a multi-level, mostly automatic workflow which combines a priori information from local catalogues and waveform-based event detection, subsequent efficient GPU-based event search by template matching, P & S arrival time pick refinement and location in a regional 3-D velocity model. The resulting seismicity distribution generally confirms the previously identified main seismically active domains, but provides increased resolution of the fault activity at depth. In particular, the high number of small events additionally detected by the template search contributes to a more dense catalogue, providing an important basis for future geological and tectonic studies in this complex part of the Alpine orogen.
The Earthquake Explorer application was developed at GFZ to provide rapid information on recent earthquakes worldwide as well as earlier earthquakes back to August 2007. It combines a zoomable and configurable map overview of activity with a highly customizable filter with more detailed information on dedicated pages for each event. Currently included are: (1) Location and magnitude estimates. First automatic estimates are usually available a few minutes after the origin time, with a subset of events later reviewed manually. (2) Moment tensor solutions (for larger events only). Currently these are all manually reviewed. They improve the understanding of earthquakes because they are a direct snapshot of the deformation of the surrounding rock by the seismicity. (3) Predicted shake maps (predicted ground motion) for each event based on event parameters and an estimate of the tectonic environment. Additional information about recent events will be included in future developments of the Earthquake Explorer platform. The Earthquake Explorer is open-source, and uses the Data Analytics Software Framework (DASF).
This data repository contains electrical and seismic tremor measurements, thermal infrared imagery, atmospheric conditions and information on plume heights that were recorded and collected during the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. The 2021 Tajogaite eruption lasted from 19 September until 13 December 2021. The "data description" file provides more detailed information on each dataset and the way the data is formatted. The electrical data was recorded using a Biral Thunderstorm Detector BTD-200. This sensor was installed at two consecutive locations: BTD1 (28.635°N, 17.876389°W) recorded from 11-26 October 2021 and BTD2 (28.602365°N, 17.880475°W) recorded from 27 October 2021 until the end of the eruption. The volcanic tremor measurements were recorded at seismic station PLPI (28.5722°N, 17.8654°W), which was operated by the Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias. Here we provide the seismic tremor amplitudes within the Very Long Period (0.4-0.6 Hz) and the Long Period (1-5 Hz) frequency bands between 10 September and 20 December 2021. Thermal infrared videography of the explosive volcanic activity was done using an InfraTec HD thermal infrared (TIR) video camera. This camera was installed in El Paso (28.649361°N, 17.882279°W) and recorded almost continuously between 3-8 November 2021. Here we provide individual thermal infrared frames. Atmospheric conditions were obtained from weather balloon measurements at Güímar (station nr. 60018) on Tenerife, which were provided by the University of Wyoming, Department of Atmospheric Science (http://weather.uwyo.edu/). In addition, atmospheric data was collected from ground-based weather stations at El Paso and Roque de los Muchachos, which were operated by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) of Spain on La Palma. Information on the volcanic plume heights was obtained from both the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (https://vaac.meteo.fr/volcanoes/la-palma/) as well as the Plan de Emergencias Volcánicas de Canarias.
We present a Python application to download events and data from FDSN webservices (https://www.fdsn.org/webservices/) and compute the events energy Magnitude (Me), producing outputs in several formats (QuakeML, HDF, CSV, HTML). This software has been used to compile a seismic catalogue including Me estimated form P-waves recorded at teleseismic distances in the range 20° ≤ ∆ ≤ 98°, available at GFZ Data Services (Bindi et al., 2023; https://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.2.6.2023.010). The software complete pipeline (download and energy magnitude computation) can be deployed locally via terminal commands or chained and scheduled on a server to compute the energy magnitude in semi-realtime (e.g. daily or weekly).
This catalogue is the extended version of “The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (EMEC) for the last millennium” (Grünthal and Wahlstrom, 2012, 2012a). It is an earthquake catalogue for tectonic events in the broader European Mediterranean area. It reached from the Azores (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) in the west, to Africa north of the Sahara in the south, the Arctic Sea in the north, and the regions of Levant, eastern Turkey, and the Caucasus in the west. This areal coverage gave the name to the catalogue: EMEC—The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue. It extends the previous version (Grünsthal and Wahlström, 2012), by the years 2007 to 2021 and thus contains tectonic events for the period AD 1000 to 2021 with a uniform magnitude Mw from the threshold of 3.5. The dataset contains 71271 entries.
The dataset presented here is an earthquake catalog for the central Sea of Marmara (Turkey) obtained by applying a traditional STA/LTA technique to the continuous waveforms. The magnitude of completeness of this catalog is MW = 1.4. The full description of the data processing and creation of the catalog is provided in the paper “Near - fault monitoring reveals combined seismic and slow activation of a fault branch within the Istanbul-Marmara seismic gap in NW Turkey” published by Martínez-Garzón et al., in Seismological Research Letters. The data are provided as the following two ASCII tables: The file 2021-004_Martinez-Garcon-et-al_Initial_seismicity_catalog contains the seismic events for which we could successfully calculate an earthquake location. The ASCII table has the following columns: columns: id, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, serial time, latitude, longitude, depth [km], magnitude, horizontal error [km], vertical error [km], RMS, maximum azimuthal gap [degree]. The table 2021-004_Martinez-Garcon-et-al_Relocated_seismicity_catalog contains the seismic events for which we could refine the initial location and obtain a double-difference refined location. The ASCII table has the following columns: id, latitude, longitude, depth [km], horizontal error [km], vertical error [km].
A sequence of three strong (M W 7.2–6.4) and several moderate (M W 4.4–5.7) earthquakes struck the Pamir Plateau and surrounding mountain ranges of Tajikistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan in 2015–2017. With a local seismic network in operation in the Xinjiang province since August 2015, an aftershock network on the Pamir Plateau of Tajikistan since February 2016, and additional permanent regional seismic stations, we were able to record the succession of the fore-, main-, and aftershock sequences at local distances with good azimuthal coverage. We located 11,784 seismic events and determined the moment tensor for 33 earthquakes. The seismicity delineates the major tectonic structures of the Pamir, i.e., the thrusts that absorb shortening along the plateau thrust front, and the strike-slip and normal faults that dissect the Plateau into a westward extruding and a northward advancing block. Fault ruptures were activated subsequently at increasing distances from the initial M W 7.2 Sarez. All mainshock areas but the initial one exhibited foreshock seismicity which was not modulated by the occurrence of the earlier earthquakes. The tabular ASCII data of the seismic event catalog consist of origin date, time, location, depth and magnitude of the events, along with the quality measures: number of P- and S-wave arrival time picks, location root-mean-square misfit and localization method. The tabular ASCII data of the moment tensor catalog consist of origin date, time, location, the six independent components of the moment tensor, the moment magnitude, and the orientation of the preferred fault plane parameterized as fault strike, dip and rake. -------------------------- Version history: 2026-01-31: Version 2.0 Exchange of the file "2022-007_Bloch-et-al_moment_tensor_catalog.txt" with the new file "2022-007_Bloch-et-al_moment_tensor_catalog_correct_norm_v2.0.txt". The original file is available in the "previous-versions" folder. Reason: The normalization of the components of the moment tensor (columns mrr, mtt, mff, mrt, mrf, mtf, exp) was incorrect so that the resulting moment tensor had a too large absolute moment. The reported moment magnitude and the relative scaling of the moment tensor components was correct, thought.
