SSA welcomes all who share our mission to advance earthquake science. Whether you are a scientist or an engineer, a student or a veteran, you will find the SSA community to be a welcoming, inclusive and supportive one. We recognize our members’ excellence with awards, build their networks through travel grant programs and further their professional development with mentoring, workshops and conferences. Our three peer-reviewed journals are the leading source of research in our field.
