The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), headquartered at the University of Southern California, is a regionally focused organization founded in 1991 with a mission to gather new information about earthquakes in Southern California, integrate that knowledge into a comprehensive and predictive understanding of earthquake phenomena, and communicate this understanding to end-users and the general public in order to increase earthquake awareness, reduce economic losses, and save lives. Funding for SCEC activities is provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). An outstanding community of scientists from over 40 institutions throughout the U.S. participate in SCEC, which sponsors research programs in fault-system dynamics, earthquake physics, seismic wave propagation, and seismic hazard analysis. The SCEC Communication, Education, and Outreach Program offers student research experiences, web-based education tools, classroom curricula, museum displays, public information brochures, online newsletters, and technical workshops and publications.
