This dataset is taken from the Earthquake Repository managed by BMKG (an Indonesian non-departmental government agency). BMKG changed their site design in early 2023, and this resulted in two different datasets.
The new dataset (katalog_gempa_v2.tsv
) is taken from the Preliminary Earthquake Catalog which includes focal mechanism data (if any). It contains earthquake event data from 1 Nov 2008 to 15 Dec 2023, but may not be accurate for some of the last earthquake events recorded. There are 38 variables in this dataset, each with a descriptive name. On the other hand, the old dataset (katalog_gempa.csv
) contains earthquake event data from 1 Nov 2008 to 26 Jan 2023. The variables collected in this dataset are:
tgl
: date of the eventot
: timestamp of the eventlat
: latitude of the event epicentre (degree), ranging from 6N to 11Slon
: longitude of the event epicentre (degree), ranging from 142E to 94Edepth
: depth of the event (km)mag
: magnitude of the event, ranging from 1 up to 9.5remark
: Flinn-Engdahl regions of the event- sometimes, the focal mechanism of the event is measured. In that case,
dip1
,strike1
,rake1
,dip2
,strike2
, andrake2
values are not empty.
The new BMKG website also features two additional data that you may find useful: Tectonic Fault data (fault_indo_world.geojson
) and sensor location data (katalog_sensor.tsv
).
Kaggle version of this dataset can be accessed at earthquakes-in-indonesia.
