  The Southern California Seismic Network monitors ground motion from the U.S./Mexico border north to a line which passes approximately through San Luis Obispo and Big Pine.

  • Over 400 seismic stations owned and operated by SCSN (the CI network).
  • Nearly 1000 channels imported and archived from these stations.
  • Over 200 strong motion sensors (accelerometers) and over 350 velocity sensors in the CI network (many sites have both).
  • Data imported from over 150 stations owned by 14 other networks in southern California, northern California, Nevada and Baja California.
