JPL SCIGN Analysis: The Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) is a collaborative project to install 250 permanent, continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in and around the Los Angeles basin to provide accurate deformation information that will improve estimates of earthquake hazards. With this satellite technology, scientists are able to obtain extremely precise measurements of motions of the surface of the earth and the motion of the tectonic plates that make up its crust.

This Dynamic Planet: Map showing the Earth's physiographic features, the current movements of its major tectonic plates, and the locations of its volcanoes, earthquakes, and impact craters. The use of colour and shaded relief helps identify significant features of the land surface and the ocean floor. Over 1,500 volcanoes active during the past 10,000 years are plotted on the map in four age categories. The locations (epicentres) of over 24,000 earthquakes, largely from 1960 through 1990, are plotted in three magnitude categories and in two depth ranges. The document is in PDF format and requires Acrobat Reader 3.0 to view and print.

Virtual Earthquake: An interactive program designed to introduce the concepts of how an earthquake epicentre is located and how the Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined. It shows the recordings of an earthquake's seismic waves detected by instruments far away from the earthquake. Students are shown how to locate the epicentre by making simple measurments on three seismograms and to determine the Richter magnitude of the earthquake.

Worldwide Earthquake Locator: An interface that uses data available from the National Earthquake Information Center, part of the US Geological Survey. This data provides basic information about earthquakes within hours of them taking place. In response to a query, the data is dynamically accessed from a USGS server in Golden, Colorado. The data is then processed into an appropriate format in Edinburgh and displayed using the Xerox PARC Map Viewer based in Palo Alto, California.
