Global Seismic Events Database — 94,767 Earthquakes Worldwide (2020–2025)

About this data

Comprehensive catalog of 94,767 seismic events (magnitude 4.0+) recorded globally from 2020 to 2025, sourced from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. Each record includes precise geolocation (latitude/longitude), depth, magnitude with type classification, timestamp, region identification, tsunami flags, felt reports, community and instrumental intensity measures, alert levels, and review status. Key features: - **94,767 unique events** spanning 6 years (2020–2025) - **Global coverage**: 180+ countries and regions, with major representation from Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Chile, and the Pacific Ring of Fire - **Enriched classifications**: depth class (shallow/intermediate/deep), magnitude class (light/moderate/strong/major/great) - **Multi-source validation**: Events cross-referenced across USGS contributing networks - **28 columns** including technical parameters (RMS error, azimuthal gap, station count) for advanced seismological analysis Ideal for: seismic risk modeling, geospatial analysis, climate/disaster research, machine learning (earthquake prediction), insurance risk assessment, and educational use. Data sourced from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (earthquake.usgs.gov), a globally authoritative public seismological data source.
