is a Data Source.

The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog (ComCat) is the U.S. Geological Survey's authoritative catalog of earthquake events. It aggregates seismic event records contributed by ANSS networks and other sources, including event origins (location, depth, and time), magnitudes, and associated phase and product data. ComCat is accessible through a web-based earthquake search interface and a programmatic FDSN-standard event web service, and serves as an upstream source for the KnowWhereGraph.

USGS Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog (ComCat)

Overview

The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog (ComCat) is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program. It is an authoritative catalog of earthquake events, combining seismic records from contributing ANSS networks and other sources. Each entry includes event origins (location, depth, and origin time), magnitudes, and associated phase and product information.

Access

  • Search interface: query and download events by time, location, magnitude, and other parameters at the USGS earthquake search page
  • FDSN event web service: programmatic, standards-based access to event, origin, and magnitude data in multiple output formats

ComCat serves as an upstream source for the KnowWhereGraph.
