Course Project - Fiji Earthquake Map App

January 14, 2017

Concept

This R Shiny app displays an interactive map of earthquakes near Fiji since 1964. The source of the data is the “quakes” dataset in R.

Features of the app:

  • Maps a subset of the data, based on a range of magnitudes selected by the user
  • Calculates total number of earthquakes, average number of stations reporting, and average depth for the subset
  • Size of the markers on the map can be adjusted by the user
