About China Earthquake Data Center

The China Earthquake Data Center (National Earthquake Science Data Center), operated in association with the China Earthquake Networks Center, is a web portal for Chinese seismic and geophysical data. It organizes datasets by scientific category, observation business type and producing unit, and covers topics such as seismic observation, geomagnetic observation, active faults, historical earthquake catalogs, GNSS observations, deep seismic sounding and earthquake disaster data. Beyond browsing, the site provides data submission systems for scientific projects and field surveys, custom product and technical services, earthquake rapid-report subscriptions, and documents on data-sharing rules, standards and seismic regulations. It also publishes rolling lists of recent earthquakes, including nationwide events at magnitude 5 and above and global events at magnitude 7 and above, plus a science-education section for children. The homepage is in Chinese, and login and registration links appear in the site navigation; which sections require an account is not stated.
