A significant earthquake is classified as one that meets at least one of the following criteria: caused deaths, caused moderate damage (approximately $1 million or more), magnitude 7.5 or greater, Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) X or greater, or the earthquake generated a tsunami. The database provides information on the date and time of occurrence, latitude and longitude, focal depth, magnitude, maximum MMI intensity, and socio-economic data such as the total number of casualties, injuries, houses destroyed, and houses damaged, and $ dollage damage estimates. References, political geography, and additional comments are also provided for each earthquake. If the earthquake was associated with a tsunami or volcanic eruption, it is flagged and linked to the related tsunami event or significant volcanic eruption. These data are necessary for earthquake hazard assessments and mitigation efforts. underDevelopment Paula Dunbar DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce (303) 497-6084 (303) 497-6513 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/GC4 Boulder CO 80305-3328 USA Paula.Dunbar@noaa.gov haz.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact asNeeded http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazard/icons/sigeqsm.jpg Global plot of significant earthquakes jpg Earth Science > Interior & Crust Earth Science > Solid Earth > Seismology > Earthquake Occurrences theme NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords INFOTERRA > Disasters > Catastrophic phenomena > Earthquakes INFOTERRA > Lithosphere > Seismic activity > Seismic activity INFOTERRA > Lithosphere > Seismic monitoring > Seismic monitoring INFOTERRA > Disasters > Catastrophic phenomena > Tsunami theme INFOTERRA Keyword Thesaurus Epicenter Hypocenter Seismology theme Uncontrolled Keywords WDS, BOULDER > World Data Service for Geophysics, Boulder DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce theme NASA/GCMD Data Center Keywords Global place NASA/GCMD Location Keywords otherRestrictions Cite as: National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service (NGDC/WDS): Global Significant Earthquake Database.
