Southern California Seismic Network

The Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) is a group of organizations that monitors earthquakes in Southern California. It uses a network of seismometers, which are instruments that detect ground movements, to record seismic activity. The SCSN analyzes this data to provide real-time information about earthquakes, including their location and magnitude. This information helps researchers understand seismic risks and can inform the public and emergency services during natural disasters. By sharing its findings, the SCSN plays a vital role in earthquake preparedness and safety for the millions of people living in the region.
