USGS publishes feeds every minute; TerraPulse collects USGS every minute and NASA/GDACS every 15 minutes. Filters use earthquake occurrence time or latest NASA report time. Retention in explorer: rolling 30 days. Catalogs are incomplete representations of global events. Open NASA status does not establish continuing danger. Non-point geometries are retained and excluded from country assignment. Viewport filtering uses geometry bounding boxes for non-point shapes.

A WORLD OF PERSPECTIVES

Natural disasters by region

Reported point events on mapped land, within the collected past 30 days. Offshore and non-point events are excluded.

How TerraPulse works

Our methodology
01 / OBSERVE

Trusted, public sources

We collect earthquake observations from USGS, natural event reports from NASA EONET, and international alerts from GDACS when available.

02 / CONNECT

One planet. Many perspectives.

Each source retains its own identity, reporting times and definitions. Earthquake magnitude, catalog status and alert levels are kept distinct.

03 / EXPLORE

Find your perspective

Explore by place, time, event type or magnitude. Every observation links back to its source, with collection times and data limitations.

Frequently asked questions

How current is the earthquake map?

USGS summary feeds update every minute. TerraPulse collects them on a one-minute schedule and browsers check a shared server cache every 60 seconds. Collection and provider timestamps are shown separately. Delays can occur.

Does the map show every natural disaster?

No. These public sources have different coverage and reporting delays. No reported events in selected data sources does not mean no disasters occurred.

Does a larger earthquake marker show the area affected?

No. Marker size encodes earthquake magnitude only. It does not represent shaking intensity, damage, an affected area or a safety zone.

Can TerraPulse predict an earthquake or issue an emergency warning?

No. TerraPulse is an informational observatory, not an earthquake prediction or official emergency warning service. Follow local authorities for safety guidance.

What does an open NASA event mean?

Open is an EONET catalog status. It does not confirm that danger is continuing at a particular location. Check the original reporting date and source.
