Coverage and Methodology

This country page queries the USGS catalog using a rectangular geographic bounding box: longitude 166.43 to 178.55, latitude -47.29 to -34.39. The default view covers the past 30 days at M2.5+. It is a catalog view, not a risk rating, prediction or emergency alert.

Up to 2,000 newest matching events are loaded into the explorer. The displayed total is obtained separately from USGS when more events match.
