The Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) is a cooperative project of
Caltech and the
United States Geological Survey. The SCSN has benefited from numerous upgrade projects. TERRAscope, funded by the L. K. Whittier and ARCO Foundations, and NSF, provided the first 28 broadband and strong motion stations in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The TriNet project, from 1997 to 2002, funded by
