TECHNICAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers.
Engineering boundaries.
What is the verified inventory in Data Foundry?
322 verified seismic event records in `usgs_earthquakes`.
Can this dataset be expanded for catastrophe modeling?
Yes. Complete historical ANSS catalogs (4M+ events dating to 1900) are available via custom Foundry extraction.
Are spatial indexes supported?
Yes. Spatial coordinates are compatible with DuckDB spatial extensions and Python GeoPandas.
Are preliminary vs reviewed events distinguished?
All records record event review status and hypocenter error bounds.
