CENEC 2008 - Mw based Earthquake Catalogue for Central, Northern and Northwestern Europe

The unified catalogue of earthquakes in central, northern, and northwestern Europe: Grünthal et al. (2009) published a catalogue for central, northern, and northwestern Europe with unified Mw for events with Mw ≥ 3.5 in the time frame 1000-2004. Thi…
EMEC - The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (Version 2021 and earlier versions)

EMEC-2021 is a catalogue of tectonic earthquakes for the broader Mediterranean area, harmonised into a single magnitude scale, Mw (Lammers, Steffi et al., 2023). It is an extended version of “The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue (EMEC) fo…
Focus sites: Etna and Southern Italy Volcanoes

Mt. Etna (Eastern Sicily), located in one of the most complex tectonic environments, is one of the most active and best monitored volcanoes around the world. It is characterized by multi-hazard activity that endangers the densely populated area. Act…
GCOCA - Global Change Observatory Central Asia

Central Asia is highly vulnerable to global warming and natural hazards. The region allows us to study not only changes and impact in the water cycle but also a broad range of other natural, often hazardous, phenomena. Central Asia is influenced by …
GE Seismic Network - GEOFON Global Seismic Network

In 2018 the GEOFON global seismic network consists of more than 80 active high quality stations with real-time acquisition. The network plays a leading role in global real-time seismology providing valuable data for almost all fundamental and applie…
GEOFON Earthquake Explorer

The GEOFON Earthquake Explorer is a world map of global seismicity located automatically using the global virtual seismic network. Detailed information including hypocenter coordinates and a location map are displayed for the last major earthquake.
GONAF - Geophysical Observatory at The North Anatolian Fault

GONAF (Geophysical Observatory at the North Anatolian Fault) is a combined surface and downhole based observatory to measure tectonic deformation transients (seismic and aseismic) along the overdue Marmara segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (…
GSHAP - Global Seismic Hazard Map Online

The GSHAP project was one of the global initiatives within the framework of the UN International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR), declared by the United Nations General Assembly for the 1990s. Around 190 geoscientists from all continen…
HOWAS 21 – Flood Damage Database for Germany

With the HOWAS 21 flood damage database, scientists at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences have created a sound data basis for researching flood damage. This data is used to better understand how flood damage occurs and to assess the effe…
SHEEC - the SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue 1900-2006

The SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC) 1900-2006 has been compiled by GFZ Potsdam in the frame of an independant project and represents a temporal and spatial excerpt of "The European-Mediterranean Earthquake Catalogue" (EMEC) for the last …
SMARTIES - Supercritical fluids and MAgma Reconnaissance for Transformative Iceland Energy Solutions

Recognizing that the exploration and harnessing of magmatic and geothermal reservoirs involves many disciplines, the mission of “SMARTIES” is to implement a long-term observatory facility together with episodic field experiments for defining, testin…
WSM - World Stress Map Project

The World Stress Map (WSM) is a global compilation of information on the crustal present-day stress field maintained since 2009 at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences (Section 2.6 Seismic Hazard and Risk Dynamics). It is a collaborative project…
