Collaborative Activities with EarthScope

SCEC collaborated with EarthScope during their Interpretive workshops in Maine and Alaska and the Cascadia EarthScope Earthquake and Tsunami Education Program (CEETEP). SCEC, EarthScope, and Humboldt State University are co-hosting a CEETEP workshop in Summer 2015 in Arcata.

Earthquake Education and Public Information Center (EPIcenter) Network

•  EPIcenters include public venues such as museums, science centers, libraries, aquaria, park visitor centers, and universities

•  Share a commitment to demonstrating and encouraging earthquake and tsunami preparedness

•  Help coordinate activities in their region (including the ShakeOut), lead presentations or organize events in their communities, and much more.

www.earthquakecountry.org/EPIcenter

•  Largest, low-cost strong motion seismic

network utilizes sensors in and attached to Internet-connected computers.

•  Collaborative initiative of Stanford Univ. & USGS

•  Provides educational software that uses the sensors to teach about earthquakes and their hazards

•  QCN and the SCEC/ECA EPIcenter Network are initiating a campaign to bring sensors and educational programming to free-choice learning environments. Partners include SCEC, NEES, IRIS, USGS, CA Geological Survey, UNAVCO, and EarthScope

•  The QCN-EPIcenter Team has over 110 sensors installed in locations in AK, CA, ME, OR, and WA

Quake Catcher Network (QCN)

M 5.1 La Habra Earthquake 3/28/14 Recorded at Montclair High School

Recorded at Colony High School, Ontario

Data from this earthquake was collected by 5 schools in the Chaffey Joint Union HS district (all 9 high schools have QCN sensors).

This example of “event-based” science was used as a teachable moment across the district serving 21,000 students.

Statewide partnership of people, organizations, and regional alliances

Each regional alliance conducts its own activities and collaborates with the others

Statewide committees determine long-range plans, sector-based needs, and develop resources

Significant support provided by FEMA
