ESM25 - Engineering Strong Motion ML dataset

Type Data Collection Class type Seismological and infrasonic data (Earth and sea)

Machine Learning Big Data Seismic Event Detection Ground Motion Estimation Analysis Benchmarking Seismic Tomography

The ESM25 dataset is a comprehensive, ML-ready compilation of strong-motion recordings from the Engineering Strong-Motion database (ESM). It provides 3C waveforms, manually processed time-histories, and response spectra for nearly 100,000 records across the Euro-Mediterranean and Middle East region. The dataset is structured following the format established by INSTANCE (Michelini et al., 2021) and is natively compatible with SeisBench (Woollam et al., 2022), enabling immediate use in machine-learning pipelines for ground-motion prediction, quality-control automation, and site-effect analysis. Each record has been classified as good or bad quality based on manual review. Good-quality records include both converted-to-physical-units (CV) and manually-processed (MP) waveforms, along with response spectra. Bad-quality records include CV waveforms only. CV contains acceleration only; MP contains acceleration, velocity, and displacement waveforms together with acceleration and displacement response spectra.
