Real-Time Double-Difference Earthquake Catalog for Northern California


Last updated on Fri Feb 20 09:48:04 UTC 2026 ( Fri Feb 20 04:48:04 EST 2026 )

IMPORTANT CHANGE NOTE:
This is a comprehensive update of the previous DD-RT system for Northern California. Main changes are: (1) New DD base catalog with events from 1984-2021. (2) All earthquake depths now with respect to geoid (consistent with USGS locations).


About:
This website displays double-difference hypocenter locations computed in real-time (DD-RT) for earthquakes recorded at the Northern California Seismic Network (NCSN). New earthquakes are automatically cross-correlated and relocated relative to a high-resolution base catalog (1984-2021). For more details see here. This site is updated every 5 minutes.

Faults of interest:
Hayward | Calaveras | SAF Parkfield

Earthquakes of interest:
2023-08-10 M4.3 Parkfield
2025-01-10 M3.6 San Francisco
