Historical dataSearch the reconciled catalogue Prakruti holds locally. Coverage begins when ingestion began, not at the start of each agency's archive — the completeness report below states exactly what is and is not held.

What this table does not say. These are the records Prakruti currently holds, which began 2011-01-01 00:02:31 UTC — not the full extent of each agency's archive. USGS offers events back to 1900 and the ISC Bulletin further still. Deep historical backfill is a separate, resumable job; until it has run, this catalogue is a recent window, and Prakruti says so rather than implying the archive is complete.
Comparing eras needs care. Seismic networks have grown denser over time. A chart showing more small earthquakes in recent decades largely reflects better detection, not a more active planet. Comparisons are only meaningful above the magnitude of completeness for the region and period in question.
