International Seismological Centre
The International Seismological Centre (ISC) is a group that studies earthquakes around the world.[1] It is not run by any government and doesn't make money. It was started in 1964 to collect and study earthquake data from many countries, especially from a new system called the World-Wide Standard Seismograph Network (WWSSN).[2] The ISC's main job is to gather all the earthquake information it can, check it carefully, and make a trusted list of earthquakes.[3] Many experts see the ISC’s earthquake list as the best and most complete.[4]
