The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a collaboration of more than 1,000 scientists across 100 research institutions focused primarily on conducting research on earthquakes in Southern California and elsewhere by gathering data, conducting theoretical studies, and performing computer simulations; integrate information into a comprehensive, physics-based understanding of ...
The San Diego Trough Fault Zone is a group of connected right-lateral strike-slip faults that run parallel to the coast of Southern California, United States, for 150–166 km (93–103 mi). The fault zone takes up 25% of the slip within the Inner Continental Borderlands.
An earthquake that shook Temecula, Calif., on Friday evening was felt widely across San Diego. The magnitude-4.2 quake was reported at 6:16 p.m. about 11 miles from Temecula at a depth of 9 miles ...
During an earthquake, the stations send data to processing infrastructure in monitoring centers which, using various algorithms, are able to calculate the necessary information and generate alerts when needed. Initially, ShakeAlert processing centers were capable of detecting earthquakes at an early stage because of three specific algorithms.
A 4.4 magnitude earthquake was strongly felt Monday afternoon from the Los Angeles area all the way to San Diego, swaying buildings, rattling dishes and setting off car alarms, but no major damage ...
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake was felt widely across the nation's second largest city Friday and shook things off shelves near the epicenter in a small mountain community east of Los Angeles, but ...
On April 9, a magnitude 6.4 M L earthquake with a maximum perceived intensity of MM VII hit the extreme eastern San Diego County area and created a 31 km (19 mi) surface break along the Coyote Creek Fault. California State Route 78 was damaged with cracks near Ocotillo Wells and large boulders blocked the Montezuma-Borrego Springs Highway.
The Imperial fault was the source of the 1940 El Centro earthquake and the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake. There was more than 30 km (19 mi) of surface rupture associated with the 1979 event along the northwest trending Imperial fault from just north of the Mexico–United States border to an area south of Brawley and the BSZ was found to have ...
