Southern California

Pasadena, CA Field Office

The Pasadena USGS Office conducts research and promotes activities to reduce earthquake hazards in southern California. The Office works with Caltech and the California Geological Survey (CGS) operating the TriNet seismic network to monitor earthquake activity and provide information for earthquake response.

The Office works with the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), JPL and Scripps Institution of Oceanography operating the Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) to continuously monitor crustal movements.

The Office Outreach & Education Program also works collaboratively with SCEC on some O&E projects.
