The 1988 Spitak Earthquake database is an extensive collection of geophysical and geological data, maps, charts, images and descriptive text pertaining to the catastrophic earthquake in Armenia. This earthquake was unique both in catastrophic effects and in study coverage. Research groups from the former U.S.S.R., U.S.A., France, and Japan studied the earthquake area. The database was developed as a cooperative effort between centers in Russia and the United States. The goal was to provide seismologists around the world with a complete set of data for the devastating earthquake. The database contains practically all material relevant to the 1988 Spitak earthquake and its aftereffects. It also includes the geological and geophysical information collected during the years prior to the event, important for understanding the event. Almost 2,000 files and 170 megabytes of data are contained in the collection. The database is static and is no longer being updated.
To provide seismologists around the world with a complete set of data for the devastating earthquake that occurred in Spitak, Armenia on December 7, 1988.

dataset
This is a collection of data related to the 1988 Spitak earthquake that was released by the Russian Academy
of Sciences National Geophysical Committee Geophysical Center and NOAA National Geophysical Data Center
(NGDC). It was a demonstration project to provide access to different types of geophysical data all related
to one event, e.g. seismicity data, isoseismal maps, seismic zoning maps, earthquake strong motion data,
images showing damage. The data were formatted to be accessed with the NGDC-developed GeoVu software.
The data from the 1988 Spitak earthquake were released by the Russian Academy of Sciences National
Geophysical Committee Geophysical Center and NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).
