GeoNet Quake Search

This application allows you to search the New Zealand earthquake catalogue using temporal, spatial, depth and magnitude constraints, build queries to request data in different formats, or show search results on an interactive map.

Enter search parameters in the text boxes or select values from the default options. The search boundary can be changed by zooming or panning the map after selecting the Map Extent option.

Catalogue data are stored at the precision used in the calculations. Please refer to Catalogue Output for descriptions of the fields and our recommendations for rounding. The data are made available under the GeoNet Data Policy.
