The European Database of Seismogenic Faults catalogs faults considered capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 or higher.
AHEAD
AHEAD is the European archive of historical earthquake data, providing resources on past earthquakes.
About AHEAD
AHEAD (European Archive of Historical EArthquake Data) is a pan-European, open platform for research on historical earthquake data. It traces, retrieves, preserves, and inventories sources such as papers, reports, macroseismic data points, and catalogues, and it provides access to them.
The platform also suggests relationships among earthquake data from different sources to support new analysis and cross-border cooperation. The homepage notes that AHEAD services are integrated in the EPOS Data Portal and that earthquake records have been linked to tsunami data from the Euro-Mediterranean Tsunami Catalogue EMTC2.0.
