Dataset: Earthquakes In Indonesia

About this Dataset

Earthquakes In Indonesia

This dataset is taken from the Earthquake Repository managed by BMKG (an Indonesian non-departmental government agency). BMKG changed their site and database design in early 2023, and this resulted in two different datasets.

The new dataset (katalog_gempa_v2.tsv) is taken from the Preliminary Earthquake Catalog which includes focal mechanism data (if any). It contains earthquake event data from 1 Nov 2008 to 30 Mar 2025, but may not be accurate for some of the last earthquake events recorded. There are 37 variables in this dataset, each with a descriptive name.

On the other hand, the old dataset (katalog_gempa.csv) contains earthquake event data from 1 Nov 2008 to 26 Jan 2023. The variables collected in this dataset are:

tgl: date of the event
ot: timestamp of the event
lat: latitude of the event epicenter (degree), ranging from 6N to 11S
lon: longitude of the event epicenter (degree), ranging from 142E to 94E
depth: depth of the event (km)
mag: magnitude of the event, ranging from 1 up to 9.5
remark: Flinn-Engdahl regions of the event
sometimes, the focal mechanism of the event is measured. In that case, dip1, strike1, rake1, dip2, strike2, and rake2 values are not empty.

The source code and raw HTML data for the both dataset can be accessed at github.com/kekavigi/repo-gempa.
