Earthquake CDF

This interactive Earthquake document is pretty cool. To view and run it you may need to install the CDF Player (free).

CDF (computational document format) is Wolfram's model for sharing reproducible research documents. In a more general sense, this has been a Jon Claerbout goal for many years. But as you will see from the link, the reproducible research community does not want any commercial software to be involved, only open source tools.
