Santiaguito Volcano Seismic Waveforms from 2014-2015

Continuous seismic waveforms recorded at Santiaguito volcano in Guatemala between 2014 and 2015. The data was collected by the British Geological Survey using broadband and short-period seismometers to capture volcanic activity. Recorded events include explosions, rockfalls, and regional earthquakes.

Use Cases

• Classify volcanic explosion signals based on continuous seismic waveforms.
• Detect and analyze rockfall events from seismic time-series data.
• Study regional earthquake activity near an active volcano.
• Model volcanic tremor or other long-duration seismic phenomena.

Strengths

• Continuous data collection over a defined period (2014-2015).
• Data includes multiple event types (explosions, rockfalls, earthquakes).
• Collected by a recognized geological survey (British Geological Survey).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal and geographic bias specific to the Santiaguito volcano site.
