GEOSCOPE provides earthquake characteristics and associated data for earthquakes with magnitude larger than 5.5-6, and for smaller earthquakes when located in France or in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

First information related to an earthquake is typically posted 45 minutes after earthquake origin. An update is done later in order to provide access to the data over a ~5h30 long window starting at the earthquake origin time. Data (seismograms) are raw data (not yet validated), and mainly come from real-time protocols. Time is in UTC and epicentral locations are from USGS.

Data and information related to an earthquake include:

• Since 1st January 2014 : earthquake characteristics determined by SCARDEC method: magnitude, depth, focal mechanism and source time function. The agreement between real and modelled data is also shown. Validated SCARDEC solutions are updated every year on the SCARDEC website, where solutions for earthquakes since 1992 are also available.
  
• Earthquake localization maps in the context of historical seismicity
• SEED file (and description of its content), built from continuous data of the operational stations
• Theoretical arrival times (P, PP, PcP,PKP,S,ScS, SKS) at GEOSCOPE stations
• Graphics of the BH and LH channels for each station
• Schematic view of the earthquake mechanism (Since 1st January 2014)

For some earthquakes, additional information provided by other institutes/organisms is provided.
