EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL SEISMIC DATA

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study on data analysis of recorded seismic events, earthquakes using data mining tools. The research was carried out in two stages. At the initial stage, statistical processing of the data of recorded seismic events was carried out. The quantitative results of the distribution of earthquakes over time intervals are obtained, and graphs of the earthquake density by magnitude classes are also constructed. At the next stage, a visual analysis of the geospatial points of earthquakes by magnitude classes was carried out and the sources belonging to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan were determined. This kind of research will be useful when updating seismic zoning maps when designing modern construction, as well as for conducting a more in-depth and comparative analysis of data with accumulated historical data on earthquakes. Besides, the obtained research results will be used in further data analysis to build earthquake clusters using machine learning methods.
