Seismos Turns Earthquake Feeds Into a Searchable Globe

Field notes

The interface separates recent-event browsing from historical search, then adds filters for minimum magnitude, depth, and fault type. Its visible examples—Tōhoku, Loma Prieta, Haiti 2010, and San Francisco 1906—suggest that the search is designed for both named disasters and geographic exploration. The page identifies the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program and says its GeoJSON feed refreshes every 60 seconds, although the captured state remains at “CONNECTING” while the feed loads.
