IGP instrumental earthquake catalog · since 1960

Explore earthquakes in the Geophysical Institute of Peru catalog by UTC date, epicenter, depth and magnitude. Includes offshore and neighboring-country events. Detection coverage changes with the station network; counts across decades do not by themselves show increasing seismic activity. The source does not identify the magnitude scale.

Peru: earthquakes in the IGP catalog by year

Instrumental catalog events since 1960, grouped by UTC year. Includes offshore and neighboring areas. Detection coverage has changed over time; the current year is incomplete.

Quick read

Between 1960 and 2025, the series increased 3,130.8% (26 → 840). The largest point-to-point change was +500, from 2010 to 2011. 2026 is still in progress. It is shown as a partial period and excluded from comparisons with complete periods.

Preview

Filter by UTC date, magnitude or depth. Country identifies the catalog, not the epicenter’s national boundary. IDs are derived record references; the source publishes neither event codes nor magnitude scale. Do not sum magnitudes or combine catalogs without identifying repeated earthquakes.
