Documents
Welcome to the Documents section of Earth Pulse Research. Here you can find a collection of compiled texts, and information on how to download your own data related to seismic, volcanic, and geodynamic activity around the world. Our goal is to provide comprehensive information to researchers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamic processes shaping our planet.
Current Seismic and Volcanic Activity on Earth, Its Development and Possible Causes
This report examines the significant increase in global seismic and volcanic activity observed in recent years, with particular emphasis on developments recorded in 2025. Based on data from international seismic catalogs and geophysical institutions, it provides a quantitative analysis of rising earthquake frequency, intensifying seismic swarms, and heightened volcanic unrest, placing these changes within a broader long-term context rather than treating them as isolated events.
The document highlights the spatial concentration of geodynamic activity along the margins of the Eurasian tectonic plate, from Iceland through the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia to the Pacific and other tectonic faults and explores potential underlying causes, including evolving stress fields and deeper tectonic processes. By combining statistical analysis with geophysical interpretation, the report offers a comprehensive perspective on current Earth dynamics and underscores the importance of reassessing seismic risk, monitoring active regions, and improving preparedness for potential large-scale events.
To download
GitHub earthquake-analysis
earthquake-analysis is a Python-based tool designed for analyzing yearly earthquake activity using publicly available FDSN catalogs (such as USGS, ISC, and EMSC). The script retrieves seismic event data, processes annual counts, and generates time series visualizations alongside CSV outputs for further analysis.
By default, the analysis is performed on a global scale, but users can easily customize the geographic region by defining their own coordinate boundaries. The tool is intended for researchers, students, and anyone interested in exploring temporal patterns in seismic activity.
