Caltech's Seismological Laboratory, an arm of the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences (GPS), was established in 1921. It has a distinguished history of leadership in science and serving the public interest. Internationally recognized for excellence in geophysical research and academics and home to outstanding facilities in seismic networks, high performance computing, and mineral physics, the Seismo Lab is an ideal place for study and research. The Lab serves as a focal point for earthquake information in Southern California and the world.
Disclaimer: Local earthquakes of less than magnitude 4.0 will not have a corresponding shake map due to increased activity generated by the magnitude 7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah Earthquake on April 4, 2010.
