About SSA
The Seismological Society of America (SSA) has worked to advance seismology worldwide for more than a century.
The Society’s three peer-reviewed journals are the heart of our small nonprofit operation. Widely read and cited, these publications encourage scientific collaboration and foster the professional development of scientists and engineers around the globe. The publishing program produces the revenue that enables SSA to provide every member with discounted registration fees to attend our twice-yearly meetings for networking and information sharing. Our journals also fund the entire SSA professional support system that includes ongoing grant, award and career training opportunities.
SSA members are part of a tight-knit community, supporting one another across geographic borders and providing professional guidance through our virtual trainings and events.
Governed by a Board of Directors, the Society holds its members to high ethical standards and embraces the diversity of people, perspectives and ideas that leads to scientific progress.
