EMSC Significant Earthquakes (last 72 hours)
type: Dataset
description: A continuously updated list of significant earthquakes felt worldwide within the past 72 hours. The EMSC collects earthquake origin parameters from more than 70 seismological institutes and publishes a continually updated catalogue of seismic events, combined with crowdsourced felt reports. Coverage is global and most complete in the European-Mediterranean area. Explore more at https://www.emsc-csem.org/ and https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake_information/. The catalogue can also be queried programmatically via the SeismicPortal (https://www.seismicportal.eu/fdsn-wsevent.html).
