Real-time Earthquake Monitoring
Stay aware of seismic activity while you work in the field. GeoKit displays live earthquake data on your map with magnitude, depth, distance from your location, and configurable proximity alerts — essential for geologists working in seismically active regions.

Magnitude
Magnitude for every event — filter by minimum threshold.
Depth
Hypocenter depth in kilometers — distinguish shallow from deep events.
Distance
How far each earthquake is from your current GPS position.
Proximity Alerts
Get notified when seismic events occur within your configured radius.
How Earthquake Monitoring Works in GeoKit
GeoKit fetches real-time seismic data from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) and overlays earthquake events directly on your geological map. Each event is displayed as a color-coded marker — the size and color indicate magnitude, making it easy to assess significance at a glance.
Tap any earthquake marker to see detailed information: exact magnitude, depth, time, epicenter coordinates, and distance from your location. You can filter events by minimum magnitude and time range to focus on what matters to your work.
Proximity alerts use your GPS location to notify you when significant seismic events occur nearby — crucial for safety when mapping in tectonically active areas like fault zones, volcanic regions, or subduction margins.

Who Benefits from Seismic Monitoring?
Structural Geologists
Correlate seismic activity with fault mapping. Real-time data adds context to structural interpretations in active tectonic settings.
Field Safety
Proximity alerts keep you informed of nearby seismic events. Essential safety awareness for teams working in active zones.
Seismology Research
Quick field reference for active seismicity. Cross-reference earthquake events with your field observations in real time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does GeoKit's earthquake data come from?
GeoKit uses real-time seismic data from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) feed, overlaid directly on your geological map.
Can I get alerts for nearby earthquakes?
Yes. You can set magnitude and proximity thresholds so you are alerted about the events that matter near your location.
Does earthquake monitoring work offline?
Fetching new seismic events needs a connection, but previously loaded events remain visible on your map offline.
Is earthquake monitoring free?
Yes. GeoKit is 100% free, with no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
