Earthquake organisations and E Guide - Resources and Review
	Scientific society devoted to the advancement of earthquake science, founded in 1906 in San Francisco.
The Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) is a collaborative project to install 250 permanent, continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in and around the Los Angeles basin to provide accurate deformation information that will improve estimates of earthquake hazards. With this satellite technology, scientists are able to obtain extremely precise measurements of motions of the surface of the earth and the motion of the tectonic plates that make up its crust.
Comprises a community of specialists aiming to reduce earthquake hazards by educating the public about the location of future earthquakes and the likely extent of ground motions. Provides recent earthquake information covering the last hour, last day, and last week in California, worldwide earthquake information, and access to various databases and research papers.
NEIC predicts and disseminates scientific data and information on destructive seismic activity worldwide. Gives general information about earthquakes, current data, and details of the biggest earthquakes for 1999 and 2000.
Consortium of US universities with research programs in seismology, established to acquire and distribute seismic data. Features a data management system which coordinates data inflow from seismic recording stations, a seismic monitor link for a quick view of current seismic activity, a SeismiQuery database allowing users to search for data by day, month, station or event, a help facility for new users, and a collection of graphics and information on recent earthquakes.
