Statewide California Earthquake Center

SCEC’s mission is to develop and share cutting-edge earthquake system science to enhance California’s resilience and to educate and inspire future scientists.

SCEC is a consortium of more than 90 institutions and a community of over a thousand individuals, guided by diverse leadership teams to fulfill the Center’s mission.

A collaborative research and education hub that brings together

experts across geoscience and related fields

Statewide California Earthquake Center

Develops and shares cutting-edge earthquake system science to enhance California’s resilience and to educate and inspire future scientists.

The California Geological Survey’s mission is to provide scientific products and services about the state's geology, seismicity, forests and watersheds, and mineral resources that affect the health, safety, and business interests of the people of California.

SCEC is a consortium of over 90 institutions and a research and education hub that brings 1000+ individuals together from across academia, government, industry, and other sectors to collaborate.

SCEC is now the Statewide California Earthquake Center

Pacific-North America plate boundary with population density (blue) and major faults of the San Andreas Fault System (colored by 30-yr probability of M>6.5 earthquakes from UCERF3). Inset: U.S. Regional Seismic Risk by Annualized Earthquake Losses (from FEMA-366, 2017).

SCEC’s study area spans the entire Pacific-North American plate boundary, from western Nevada to the Borderlands offshore, and from Baja California to Cape Mendocino.

The extensive regional geophysical networks and direct access to major faults of the San Andreas Fault System opens up new research avenues.

Community Earth Models for California

Statewide California Earthquake Center | www.scec.org

Unifying diverse data and expertise to build high-resolution models of key features of the lithosphere and asthenosphere for investigating seismic phenomena in California and beyond.

Formerly known as the CXMs, the SCEC Community Earth Models (CEM) include:

• Community Fault Model (CFM)
• Community Geodetic Model (CGM)
• Community Rheology Model (CRM)
• Community Stress Model (CSM)
• Community Thermal Model (CTM)
• Community Velocity Model (CVM)
• Unified Community Velocity Model (UCVM) Framework
• and more…

Priorities for Research Computing Program

SCEC Research Computing | www.scec.org/research-computing

The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) research computing program leverages advancements in scientific computing and cyberinfrastructure to advance earthquake science, engineering, education, and outreach efforts. This involves:

• Standardizing data formats and tools (common infrastructure),
• Developing detailed geophysical models for California (Community Earth Models),
• Providing training in advanced computational techniques (growing community research computing skills), and
• Enabling researchers to perform more comprehensive simulations (scenario simulations) and integrate machine learning and big data analysis into their studies.

SCEC offers undergraduate students immersive and authentic research experiences to learn from, and collaborate with, experienced researchers to develop new skills and expand their professional networks.

SCEC provides professional and mentorship training to build belonging and confidence in early career and experienced researchers to engage in the science collaboration and have a lasting commitment to their field.

SCEC works with partners at diverse institutions to expand access to earthquake science and education across California and to increase participation of underrepresented groups and non-traditional students in STEM.

SCEC Outreach and Community Engagement

SCEC Public Education & Preparedness | www.scec.org/prepare

Engaging Geoscience and Technical Stakeholders

• SCEC Annual Meetings and Community Science Workshops
• Research Collaborations and Technical Working Groups
• User Focus Groups and Technical Stakeholder Events (with engineers, policymakers, etc.)
• Technical Skills Trainings and Research Internships
• Rapid Post-Earthquake Scientific Response Coordination

Public Education and Preparedness

• Science-Based Earthquake and Tsunami Preparedness Trainings
• Annual Earthquake and Tsunami Safety Drills & Scenario Exercises
• Resources and Toolkits for Earthquake Mitigation and Preparedness in California (multi-language resources, by region and by sector)
• Educational Campaigns to Commemorate Anniversaries of Major California Earthquakes
• Communications Coordination (between academic, government, and other organizations) for Post-Earthquake Messaging and Resource Sharing
