Seismicity Catalog Collection, 2150 BC to 1996 AD (Superseded Version)
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information decommissioned the Seismicity Catalog Collection, 2150 BC to 1996 AD on May 05, 2025 with no further updates. Upon termination, the underlying data will be available from https://doi.org/10.25921/f28m-kb46. Comments and questions may be sent to: ncei.info@noaa.gov. Note this metadata record is accompanied by another newer version of metadata for the same product. The Seismicity Catalog Collection is a compilation data on over four million earthquakes dating from 2150 BC to 1996 AD from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center and U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center. The data include information on epicentral time of origin, location, magnitudes, depth and other earthquake-related parameters. This database is static and is no longer being updated.
