Map of the recent earthquakes (last 90 days) in and around Switzerland

The map of the earthquakes of the last 90 days shows the current seismic activity in Switzerland and the nearby regions recorded by the Swiss Seismological Service at the ETH Zurich (SED). It is constantly updated. The parameters (location, time, magnitude) of very recently recorded earthquakes are potentially only determined automatically and can still change after manual review by the SED.

Statement

The map of recent earthquakes in Switzerland and the nearby regions is based on the observations and analyses of the Swiss Seismological Service. In particular for very recent events the information is probably only determined automatically and may still change with time.
