New software system for detecting and locating earthquakes
On Monday, October 22, the SED will migrate to SeisComP3, a new software system for detecting and locating earthquakes. SeisComP3 is a comprehensive new software developed by GFZ Potsdam and gempa GmbH. Following the transition, the earthquake information on the SED website will be provided from this new system. However, the content of the current earthquake catalog will not change, algorithms for locating earthquakes and calculating magnitudes remain the same, and the layout of the webpage is not affected. Due to the move, over the coming days, users of this website may expect short hiccups in service or missing elements on the maps and lists providing earthquake information. We will try to fix upcoming problems as soon as possible.
