What an interesting #deep #earthquake in the #Borneo region: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The figure shows that only 5 events that deep ever occurred nearby in our record, with the 22 Feb 2026 being by far the largest

Thanks @thegeonaut.bsky.social !

Random find in a "forgotten" filing cabinet, no clue about who wrote it or when. Any idea? Let us know...

Sadly, we announce the recent death of Dr Anthony Hughes, Director of the ISC between 1977 and 1997

The issue also features the "Regional Seismological Observation Network in Yakutia" by Albina Semyonovna Kulyandina, Rustam Mingulovich Tuktarov, Sergey Valentinovich Shibaev (doi.org/10.31905/SBL...).

Thanks to our Sponsors @geosig.bsky.social , Sara Electronic, GaiaCode for supporting the Summary

Volume 58, Issue I of the Summary of the ISC Bulletin is available at doi.org/10.31905/F3B...

The issue covers data analysis for the first six months of 2021, including Summary of Seismicity, Statistics of Collected Data, Overview of the ISC Bulletin, Leading Data Contributors.

Our first publication in @weareseismica.bsky.social
👇

A bit late but found it also here 👇

We are happy to announce that the ISC Director, Dr. D. A. Storchak, has received the Royal Astronomical Society Service Award in #Geophysics for "his longstanding dedication and support of the seismological community"

Also "high resolution" locations make us cringe... anyway, that's why we also have the ground truth event list: www.isc.ac.uk/gtevents/

#JustAnotherYear of ISC work: summary for data year 2022
👇
parametric data collected for 628581 events, of which 55343 have been reviewed and 40912 relocated by ISC using 8021324 phases!

Hi, you can add us as well, thanks

Today we collect #seismological #data from about 150 agencies worldwide to produce several #data #products to serve researchers in different fields of #geoscience, see overview at www.isc.ac.uk/products/

The International Seismological Centre was set up in 1964 with UNESCO assistance to follow up the pioneering work of John Milne and Harold Jeffreys in collecting, archiving and processing of seismic bulletins and preparing and distributing the definitive summary of world seismicity, the ISC Bulletin

We welcome a large number of new followers (we know how you feel about X), it seems a good time to reintroduce ourselves on this platform 👇
