Logo of the ANSS. The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) is a collaboration of the United States 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.

An Icelandic volcano could erupt in ‘hours or days’, experts have warned, as 3,000 residents have been evacuated from the southwestern town of Grindavik.. After 1,485 earthquakes have rocked ...
As Iceland has experienced a seismic swarm of 30,000 earthquakes in the last three weeks, Lydia Patrick maps which areas have been hit by the worst of the tremors:
A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
The strongest earthquake to hit the region since 1984. One house partially collapsed, and cracks in walls appeared in some others. [334] - - 13 [335] South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands offshore, South Sandwich Islands region 6.1 10.0 IV Aftershock of the 8.1 earthquake 16 hours earlier. - - 14 [336]
Casualties surge as tremor leads to several buildings collapsing in the Unesco World Heritage site Morocco earthquake – live: At least 632 dead after late night magnitude 7.2 tremor strikes near ...
The ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900-2013) (prepared at the request of the GEM Foundation) catalogs magnitude 5.5 or greater earthquakes suitable for modeling and assessing seismic hazard and risk. Epicentral locations and hypocentral depths were recalculated from original travel time data using a consistent velocity model.
Almost 100 earthquakes shook Iceland from midnight today, as the country remains apprehensive about an imminent eruption.. The strongest earthquake with a magnitude of 3.35 hit Vatnafjoll in South ...
