July 2020, Southern California Earthquake Center.

This collection of articles is from the SCEC Ridgecrest-anniversary newsletter provides highlights from geology, geodesy, seismology, geotechnical and forecasting studies associated with the Ridgecrest sequence, with a focus on community activities. These articles have useful insights on rapid post-earthquake reconnaissance, and detailed observations of structures and processes ranging from the surface to the upper mantle. Many fundamental unresolved issues remain, but the studies also clearly illustrate that the field of earthquake science is at a stage of rapid development, owing to the combination of detailed in-situ data and advanced analysis techniques.
