Earthquake hypocenters for all events detected by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory seismic network from July 1995 to February 2018. The dataset includes Origin Time, Latitude, Longitude, Depth, Hypocenter Errors, RMS, and the number of stations used for each location. It was produced by the British Geological Survey under NERC Grant NE/L002582/1.
Use Cases
- Modeling volcanic seismicity patterns based on hypocenter location and depth data.
- Analyzing temporal trends in earthquake activity based on origin time information.
- Assessing location accuracy for seismic events based on hypocenter error and RMS values.
- Studying the spatial distribution of seismicity around Montserrat based on latitude and longitude coordinates.
Strengths
- Covers a long temporal range of over 22 years, from July 1995 to February 2018.
- Includes multiple location quality metrics such as Hypocenter Errors and RMS.
- Data originates from a dedicated volcanic observatory seismic network.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
