Congratulations to longtime USGS field tech Scott Lydeen on his retirement! Scott spent decades maintaining & upgrading SCSN stations across SoCal, always innovating and working hand-in-hand with Caltech staff. His legacy lives on, not least at the seismic site named after him. Thank you, Scott!

Center Scott Lydeen, Retired SCSN engineers and scientists

When an earthquake hits SoCal, SCSN acts fast. We automatically post preliminary info for all local M2.75+ events, often within minutes. Reviewed updates are available at SCEDC.caltech.edu, www.SCSN.org, and USGS.gov. @caltechquake.bsky.social • @caltechseismo.bsky.social
