GeoNet Earthquake Catalogue
Database

The GeoNet Earthquake catalogue is where all the technical information about earthquakes is stored, such as location, magnitude and arrival times of seismic waves. Since the 1930s, earthquakes in the catalogue have been determined by instrumental records. Prior to that estimates were made from oral and written records.
