Meet Caifeng Zou, a Seismo Lab Grad Student who uses machine learning to study seismic wave propagation and inversion, currently focusing on the greater LA region! And fun fact, also a big fan of badminton, movies, music, and taking trains! #SeismoLabSpotlight

Our Office Manager of Earthquake Programs, Margaret Vinci, even got in on the tests!

#FieldPhotoFriday Students, faculty, and SCSN staff recently came together to test a new geophone array, detecting seismic refraction and imaging subsurface structures. This project highlights our commitment to using advancing technology and training the next generation of

#EQhistory: July 1952 M7.5 Kern County. While we tend to remember eqs by the main shock, it is important to note that it isn't always the cause of the worst damage. Substantial damage and 2 fatalities occurred in the aftershock sequence, which included 6 events > M5 on the same

A recent scientific publication by Seismo Lab grad student Yuan-Kai Liu, working with faculty Mark Simons, was chosen as an editors' highlight in AGU's Eos magazine! The article, titled "Inferring Tectonic Plate Rotations From InSAR Time Series," explains an innovative

For those interested in seeing the waveforms as they came across our network, here is a playback and make sure to check out the Live Seismograms feed and other network live feeds for more! You can even rewind them up to 12 hours!.

M4.4 6km W of #Muscoy, CA, #SouthernCalifornia #Earthquake confirmed valid. Updated analysis coming soon @

Did you feel the M4.4 earthquake near Muscoy, CA, a few minutes ago? The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system was activated. ShakeAlert estimated the magnitude at M4.7, which meets the criteria for issuing alerts to cell phones in the area near the earthquake. We'd love to.

Another great seminar series hosted at The Seismo Lab is our Brown Bag Seminar series!. The Brown Bag Seminar is a casual research seminar series where postdocs and students are encouraged to share their ongoing research while also enjoying some pizza lunch 🍕. Last year, Amir

Notice the distinct long-period waves, with shaking that lasted for tens of minutes across our network. Events this large serve as powerful reminders of how powerful the Earth is, and will likely bring many new discoveries as research is conducted.

The M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake yesterday was so massive its seismic waves traveled around the world—reaching Southern California ~10 minutes later. While we focus on local events, the #SCSN also detects and catalogs major global quakes. Here's how those waves looked on our Live.

With a new academic year, comes a new Seismo Lab Seminar Committee! . Eli Bird, Qian Shi, Yuri Tamama, and Caifeng Zou did a stellar job organizing last year's Seismo Lab Seminars. We extend our heartfelt thanks for their dedication and hard work!. These are undoubtedly big shoes

New paper alert! SeismoLab researcher Jessie Saunders with USGS colleague (and Caltech alum) David Wald examined responses to the USGS “Did You Feel It?” (DYFI) survey and its companion earthquake early warning (EEW) questionnaire to assess ShakeAlert EEW system performance from

The SCEDC hosts one of the most comprehensive and accessible earthquake datasets in the world! We've packed it with features from waveforms to focal mechanisms to metadata-rich event catalogs and more!. We’ve even got tutorials to help you get started:.
