Earthquakes

A dashboard to visualise earthquakes worldwide since 2000.

Context

A abnormal seismic activity has been recorded in late 2020 near my city, Strasbourg, France.

These unusual earthquakes may have been caused by boreholes made during the exploration phase of a geothermal energy project.

This gave me the idea of making a dashboard to display the earthquakes worldwide and learn more about this phenomenon.

Data source

To make a good dashboard, you need good data.
I used the webservices of www.seismicportal.eu.

The dataset is updated automatically every hour, leveraging Github's Flat Data, with scripts under scripts/flatdata. File data/viz/dataset.csv is then always up to date` .

If you wish to rebuild the whole dataset from scratch, there are 2 steps :

  • collect the raw data from the webservice : python scripts/scrapping/download_json.py
  • aggregate the json files into a csv file : python scripts/scrapping/build_dataset.py

Data Engineering

The data engineering is done using pandas.

Dashboard

The dashboard is made with Holoviz (using Holoviews, Geoviews and Panel) with the Bokeh backend.

Questions ?

  • If you have any question on how to use this dashboard
  • If you have suggestions on how to improve it

Pull requests are appreciated !

Also have a look to open issues for the next tasks I intend on tackle.

Thanks
