Abstract

This archive contains datasets pertaining to the article "Crowdsourcing triggers rapid, reliable earthquake locations" by Steed et al. (2018). There is a dataset containing the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre's detections of seismological events via crowdsourced methods (i.e. monitoring of internet traffic on the site www.emsc-csem.org, usage of the EMSC app LastQuake or monitoring of tweets containing earthquake related words). This dataset covers the years 2016 and 2017 and contains 2590 detections. The other dataset contains the raw results from testing the CsLoc system (Crowdseeded seismic Location) on the historical data of 2016 and 2017; this system is described in the article for which this dataset is supplemental material. This dataset was used for the creation of the results presented in the article. The archive contains more detailed descriptions of the datasets, which are stored in csv files, including the definition of column heads (*_dataset_description.csv).
