Logo of the ANSS. The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) is a collaboration of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and regional, state, and academic partners that collects and analyzes data on significant earthquakes to provide near real-time (generally within 10 to 30 minutes [1]) information to emergency responders and officials, the news media, and the public.

Website. www.usgs.gov. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), founded as the Geological Survey, is an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior whose work spans the disciplines of biology, geography, geology, and hydrology. The agency was founded on March 3, 1879, to study the landscape of the United States, its natural resources, and ...
ShakeMap is a product of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to map the shaking of earthquakes. According to the USGS, "ShakeMaps provide near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes. These maps are used by federal, state, and local organizations, both public and private, for post-earthquake ...
[18] [19] The early warning system was developed in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and is based upon USGS's ShakeAlert system. [20] While the two systems are distinct, USGS and NRCan share processing software, algorithms and real-time data. [21] [22]
In August 2024, the Canadian Earthquake Early Warning system was launched by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan); this system was developed in cooperation with USGS and is based on the same software as ShakeAlert. [29] [30] While the two systems are distinct, USGS and NRCan share processing software, algorithms and real-time data. [31] [32]
The National Map is a collaborative effort of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and other federal, state, and local agencies to improve and deliver topographic information for the United States. [1] The purpose of the effort is to provide "...a seamless, continuously maintained set of public domain geographic base information that will ...
Real-time data. Real-time data (RTD) is information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Real-time data is often used for navigation or tracking. [1] Such data is usually processed using real-time computing although it can also be stored for later or off-line data analysis.
The International Real-time Magnetic Observatory Network (INTERMAGNET) is a world-wide consortium of institutes operating ground-based magnetometers recording the absolute level of the Earth's time-varying magnetic field, [2][3][4] to an agreed set of standards. INTERMAGNET has its roots in discussions held at the Workshop on Magnetic ...
