ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Cataloque

The ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900-2009) is the result of a special effort to adapt and substantially extend and improve currently existing bulletin data to serve the requirements of the specific user group who assess and model seismic hazard and risk.


Rebuild of the ISC Bulletin

Following its move to the ak135 velocity model and the new location algorithm (ISCloc), the ISC has been involved in rebuilding the ISC Bulletin. On completion, the rebuilt ISC Bulletin will include many additional data and have improved ISC locations computed using a consistent method. This project is funded by the NSF in the United States, CEA in China, IMD in India and both JAMSTEC and ERI in Japan.


CTBTO link to the ISC database (only available to States Parties of the CTBT)

The CTBTO link to the ISC database is a collection of tools for manipulating the seismological datasets maintained at the ISC. These include the ISC Bulletin, the IDC Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB), the EHB Bulletin and the IASPEI reference events. The link provides details on seismicity, frequency-magnitude distributions, network hypocentre comparisons, individual station data and waveform request tools.


Contact list of seismologists and seismological agencies

The ISC maintains a list of individuals and/or institutions who are willing to serve as national contact points and are expected to share information with their colleagues abroad. In an emergency they would be expected to provide seismological and macro-seismic information to colleagues and to disaster management centres. The project is funded by IUGG.


Bibliography of seismology (1985-1995)

Before the advent of online journal databases, the ISC compiled a bibliography of seismological articles, which was published twice a year until 1995. The bibliography database is still available to search online by key-words and author.
