The Human-Induced Earthquake Database (HiQuake) is the largest and most up-to-date database of industrial projects proposed to have induced or triggered earthquakes. HiQuake lists all industrial projects claimed, on scientific grounds, to have induced earthquakes.

HiQuake was last updated on 17th September 2025 and the data are freely available to download in Microsoft Excel format for your own analysis. The associated bibliography can also be downloaded in Microsoft Word format. 

The current version of HiQuake includes E-PIE scores from: Wilkinson, M., Mhana, N., Wilson, M. P., Foulger, G. R., Tezel, T., & Gluyas, J. G. (2024). The plausibility of claimed induced seismicity. Scientific Reports, 14(1), 30846.

We endeavour to keep the database up to date and accurate. If you have additional cases to add to the database, more information regarding existing entries, or corrections, please contact us at g.r.foulger [at] durham.ac.uk.
