[OSGeo Africa] Earthquake data

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Lucky

Sorry for the delay in replying - I missed your messages in my inbox. THE USGS does not provide shape files. They provide grid.xml. files. We have a tool that will turn that into a geotiff file. That geotiff can then be turned into a shape file by classifying it.

I’d be happy to give you a demo of this - contact me off list for that.

Regards

Tim
