Welcome to UTDQuake

University of Texas at Dallas Earthquake Dataset

A global earthquake dataset constructed from high-quality source and receiver metadata, including associated seismic phase picks across diverse station geometries.

See Dataset section for details on how to access network data, events, stations, and picks. Next table shows the network data:

Why this dataset matters?

Curated datasets of earthquake events and phase picks are essential for modern seismology, especially in the AI era. While waveform datasets have advanced earthquake detection, multistation picks provide complementary information crucial for phase association and earthquake location.

This dataset offers structured event catalogs, station metadata, and phase picks across networks, supporting reproducible research and the development of data-driven seismological methods.
