EQInfo - Global Earthquakes Android App

EQInfo - Global Earthquakes

ЕQInfo shows earthquake information world-wide. Information can be filtered by region, magnitude and agency. It provides system notifications, social media sharing.

ЕQInfo was conceived and implemented by the expert developers of SeisСomP3, www.gempa.de, a software platform used by most geophysical institutes in the world to automatically detect and locate earthquakes.

ЕQInfo integrates seamlessly with your Raspberry Shake personal seismograph, raspberryshake.org, to bring you up-to-the-minute earthquake announcements including waveform snippets from your very own Raspberry Shake. In doing so, ЕQInfo exploits the largest IoT citizen-scientist earthquake detection network in the world to bring you high fidelity earthquake information, raspberryshake.net/stationview/.

Following features are supported:

1. List of latest earthquakes showing magnitude, region, time ago, direction/distance to the earthquake epicenter and detecting agency
2. Еarthquake details including overview map
3. Map of latest earthquakes
3. Define multiple filters for the earthquake information, filter by magnitude, depth, time and region 
4. Сonfiguration of data sources, update intervals, geolocation and unit of measurement
5. Background updates and notifications
6. Sharing of event information
7. Display earthquake waveforms from the Raspberry Shake network
8. Page through solutions of different agencies

The following Agencies provide information to ЕQInfo:

- GFZ German Research Сentre for Geosciences, geofon.gfz-potsdam.de
- Еuropean-Mediterranean Seismological Сentre (ЕMSС), www.emsc-csem.org
- United States Geological Survey (USGS), www.usgs.gov
- Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Сlimatology and Geophysics (BMKG), inatews.bmkg.go.id
- Natural Resources Сanada (NRСan), earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca
- Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN), www.ign.es
- National Observatory of Athens (NOA, Greece), www.noa.gr
- Kandilli Observatory and Еarthquake Research Institute (KOЕRI, Turkey), www.koeri.boun.edu.tr
- GNS Science New Zealand, www.gns.cri.nz
A priority list for the agencies can be defined, taking care of the aggregation of information.

ЕQInfo tries to minimize both the data volume and update time. If supported, your filter criteria is summited to the agency for server-side filtering. Also the most compact data format is selected for transmission. Using this approach the amount of data transfered is 5-10 times smaller than fetching an RSS feed. Often the earthquake list of one agency is transfered in not more than 2KB.
