Quake Hunter v0.3.2.2

Developed at NASA Ames Research Center
with the WorldWind Development Team.
Powered by the USGS Earthquake API.

This is an earthquake visualization app built in NASA Web World Wind with support from the USGS Innovation Center for Earth Science. Given the wealth of USGS information on historic earthquakes, we designed and built an app that can aggregate and display nearly 100 years of seismic data dynamically.

Quake Hunter is a valuable tool for understanding how tectonic plates interact with one another. Quake Hunter visualizes any range of earthquake data from the USGS, in 3D, either on the whole planet or in a user-defined geographically constrained area. With powerful querying tools, this application provids exactly what the user wants to see in terms of earthquake event data around the world.
