Affiliations

We offer outstanding opportunities for participation in multi-institution projects in earthquake processes and geophysics. UC Riverside is a core member of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC). SCEC is a consortium of 60 participating institutions dedicated to understanding earthquake phenomena in southern California with an emphasis on graduate and undergraduate research. We are a participating member of the Western North America Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (WInSAR) consortium. WInSAR facilitates collaboration in and advancement of earth science research using radar remote sensing. We are also affiliated with the Consortium on Material Properties Research in Earth Sciences (COMPRES). Unique opportunities for collaborative research and access to computational facilities exist through the UCR branch of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP).
