OSINT At Home #17 - How to map seismic data and earthquakes

This tutorial is part 17 of the OSINT At Home series. The tutorial covers the subject of accessing, collecting and mapping seismic data, allowing researchers to build a map of earthquakes around the world in either Google Earth or QGIS.
The tutorial fuses traditional open source intelligence techniques of accessing, collecting and analysing different datasets, but also involves my favourite subject which is geospatial intelligence (GEOINT). Basically, making a good map, rich with data, to make new valuable findings to support research.
For the case study in the presentation, I use the example of the recent, horrible, earthquakes that have affected communities in Turkey and Syria.
This session also covers a wider concept of mapping multiple datasets, such as seismic data, with population data from Facebook to map areas of impact with population density. The content covered is helpful whether you are new to using mapping tools such as Google Earth Pro, QGIS or whether you prefer to stick with creating maps on web-based functions.
By fusing these datasets into one visual mapping source, we are able to make new findings and create important analysis to enrich research, whether that be for disaster relief efforts, media and reporting, or further research looking at mitigating future risks posed by seismic activity and natural disasters.
The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.

I find new things every time I watch one of your vids. Thank you.

[@Bendobrown]

Glad you like them!

[@kathleenadams6421]

Excellent video, love your work! 🥀🕊

[@Bendobrown]

Thank you very much!

[@mkm1015]

I didn't even know that there is such a vibrant OSINT community. KZbin recommended this and it's so fun to watch and do. I've started doing this myself but with easier things like google reverse image search and it feels so good to spot a fake news with photo from completely different context/period attached to an srticle or a viral tweet. I feel like a detective😂 Is it possible to freelance with the skills?? To be an OSINT investigatator??

[@Bendobrown]

The community is very active, welcoming and progressive. And yes, many either freelance, or work in this field day in and day out.

Love your work

[@Bendobrown]

Thank you!

Ty vm! Amazing!

[@santinoescatel9838]

Hi! Congratulations, it is very interesting your channel! Do you know any web site where i can consult satellite images by time of day, i am specifically interested in images of sunrises. Thank you.

[@armenvegas]

Any way to see when Haarp is being used?

[@bubanga]

Sure, in cheap conspiracy stories.

[@bubanga]

Is it true if someone watch your videos without a subscription and not putting a nice like, you are osint their a*ses and put a horse head next to them in their beds? Just curiosity. Thx.

[@Bendobrown]

This is the way.
