Expanded Reach SCEC is expanding its research footprint beyond Southern California to cover the entire Pacific-North America plate boundary, presenting opportunities to offer cross-regional collaboration, data sharing, and customized earthquake risk modeling services to new institutions and agencies.

Strong Funding With multi-source funding from NSF, USGS, FEMA, California OES, and industry partners, SCEC demonstrates robust financial backing and project-backed grants, indicating potential for co-funded research initiatives, technology pilots, and HPC-enabled simulation projects.

High-Impact HPC Award recognition for best use of HPC in physical sciences and ongoing Quakeworx collaboration signal a strong appetite for high-performance computing solutions, scalable data processing, and advanced simulation offerings that can be packageable to other research centers and utilities.

Tech Stack Maturity Utilizing AWS, Drupal, WordPress, MySQL, and modern collaboration tools implies readiness for cloud-based data services, portals, and stakeholder dashboards; potential sales angles include secure data sharing platforms, visualization portals, and API-enabled earthquake risk APIs.

Public-Private Partnerships Partnerships with government agencies and industry players (PG&E and others) highlight openness to collaboration with utility and government clients for resilience planning, early warning interfaces, and disaster response analytics.
