Quake Watch 2013

reply to post by rosswellian

Fantastic work, you are very talented. Thank you so much.
The only thing I would prefer would be a set of lat/long boxes to be able to enter the parameters of the map rectangle, at the moment it is hard to get accurate lat/longs.
Here is what I did with your program in the last few days;
This is an updated version of a similar exercise I did in 2011 using google maps and excel created depth graphs.
This is way better.
NZ Seismic Cross Sections 2013 version
Interactive Reference Map
On the map each rectangle section (white boxes) represents one degree of latitude.
Click your mouse on the rectangle/ area of interest, a new tab will open with the image showing the map of earthquake events for that area and a cross section view looking North below that. Some towns/cities are marked for reference.

Interesting animation.

Looks like that spit of land, peninsula of the North Island jutting out from the SE corner . . . rises higher and moves a bit South . . . a bit closer to South Island . . . South Island East side moving a bit West and slightly South?

Not sure if you're aware . . . muzzy

You can hold the shift key down and then take the cursor; left click the starting corner and then take the left clicked cursor and move it to the opposite corner of the rectangle you want to select. Then let up from the click.

Very easy.

Here's a better one of the Philippine Bohol quake area. Not sure why I can't get it to rotate better:

Here's the Eastern Med up into Turkey:

yes thanks.
I see when you start your rectangle box you can see down in the right hand corner of the page where on the map your cursor is at (lat/long in orange background) which is great, but once you move to make the rectangle that goes away and it is blind guessing from there when to release your mouse button at the correct end latitude to complete the search.
It would be good if that worked right throughout the operation.
Maybe I'm just being too particular, but that is what I wanted when I was doing the NZ latitude bands searching.
Overall its a great resource.
I see you have the hang of it now. Maybe you need to reduce the size of the box searches a bit to get more detail, most of the cross section versions of your links the horizontal surface line is curved (too wide?)

Southwestern Italy up to Naples . . . Some deep quakes here, too:

Conceivably too wide for some purposes.

However, the software is still saying they are considered small . . . almost too small is my impression. LOL.

How would I get those images to post on ATS as images? Is it easy?

I need the led by the hand method. LOL.

spit of land, peninsula of the North Island jutting out from the SE corner? = East Cape, yes spreading in the Bay of Plenty, note how Auckland and Northland stays where it is now,
Pushes the Wellington area into where the Marlborough Sounds are now, NI gets skinnier at the bottom.
South Island East side moving a bit West and slightly South? = Christchurch ends up where Timaru is now
South Island ends up with a big ass
