[EHPweb] RSS Earthquake Plotting

[David Oppenheimer]

I'm not sure what this provides over selecting the "Catalog in KML format "
option at

http://www.ncedc.org/anss/catalog-search.html 

It's far more flexible, provided that every ANSS network contributes their
data in a "timely" fashion. For NC, we consider timely to be every hour.
The above has the added benefit of accessing data for all time.

Below is a link to a proof of concept mapping tool that plots recent
earthquakes on a Google Map using the RSS feed as a data source. This
application isn't perfect but can serve as a starting point for a more
elaborate effort. Please take a moment to look at this tool and also to fill
out the feedback form about it so I can know what people are thinking and
how well the tool is working.

 

Because the RSS feeds aren't being updated on EHPDevel, the data you see may
be out of date, but this is driven dynamically on the client side so if this
goes into production we will automatically get updated mapping assuming our
RSS feeds are working (they should be).

Please, I appreciate your feedback.

Please feel free to forward this along to others who might be interested,
but keep in mind they will need to be on the USGS network (or eRAS) in order
to view the application.

 

Thanks,

                ~Eric.
