Datasets
Earthquakes of magnitude 2.5+ in the past 30 days
Every earthquake of magnitude 2.5 or greater recorded worldwide by the U.S. Geological Survey in the last 30 days. One row per earthquake, with time, location, depth, magnitude and USGS alert information.
Atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa (Keeling Curve)
Monthly mean carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere measured at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, since March 1958, in parts per million. One row per month.
Global surface temperature anomaly (NASA GISTEMP)
Global mean land-ocean surface temperature since 1880 from NASA's GISTEMP v4 analysis, expressed as the difference from the 1951–1980 average. One row per year, with the annual (January–December) mean plus each month and season.
CO₂ emissions by country
Annual carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry for every country since 1900, in total, per person and as a share of the world total. One row per country per year.
CO₂ emissions per person by country, 1970 to present
Carbon dioxide emissions per person (excluding land use and forestry) for every country each year. One row is one country in one year.
Major earthquakes since 1900 (magnitude 7+)
Every earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater since 1900 in the USGS Comprehensive Catalog (ComCat). One row per earthquake, with origin time, location, depth and magnitude.
Volcanoes of the world (Holocene)
Every volcano known or believed to have erupted in the last ~12,000 years (the Holocene), from the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program. One row per volcano, with location, elevation, type and year of last known eruption.
Monthly sunspot number and solar radio flux
Monthly mean sunspot number counted by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center and the monthly mean 10.7 cm solar radio flux, the two standard measures of solar activity. One row per month.
Highest mountains in the world
Mountains and summits on Earth with an elevation of at least 7,000 metres above sea level, with prominence, range, country and first ascent. One row per peak as recorded in Wikidata.
Longest rivers in the world
Rivers at least 1,000 km long, with discharge, mouth, drainage basin area and the countries they flow through. One row per river as recorded in Wikidata.
Electricity generation mix by country
How each country generates its electricity: total generation, generation per person, and the share from coal, gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, bioenergy and other renewables. One row per country for the latest year with data.
Largest lakes in the world
Lakes and reservoirs with a surface area of at least 5,000 km², with maximum depth, water volume and the countries they border. One row per lake as recorded in Wikidata.
