Overview

The QuakeExplorer Earthquake Browser and Analysis Tool is a stand alone Java application for earthquake seismology.

QuakeExplorer gives rapid access to

A QuakeExplorer database does not contain any trace data files; instead it conatains links to these files. QuakeExplorer uses the trace file links to allow visualisation, analysis and downloading of the traces. The actual trace data files may reside locally or on the Internet, at one or more data providers (data centers, networks, stations, CD-ROM,...).

Typically the existing format and directory structure used at the data provider is preserved - the QuakeExplorer database and QuakeExplorer program then serve as a powerful interface to these existing data.

QuakeExplorer uses include:

QuakeExplorer supports:

The QuakeExplorer Interface

The QuakeExplorer event trees (left pane) allow the browsing and selection of events (QuakeExplorer database). or the browsing of SeedLink INFO parametric data (SeedLink server).

The QuakeExplorer trace table (right pane) lists the traces available for selected events (QuakeExplorer database) or all streams available (SeedLink server) and allow the sorting and selection of these traces.

The menus and tool bar assist in selecting and visualizing events and traces, and in downloading selected traces.

The status bar gives information and error messages, and indicates the progress of program processes.

Note: The look-and-feel of the QuakeExplorer interface will vary depending on your operating system.
