The seismology program at USC is involved in the study of earthquakes, lithospheric processes, and the internal structure of the earth, as well as generating interest in the world of seismology through education.
We are developing computer software to be used for exploring seismology and have quite a few projects that we are currently working on. Some examples include the Global Earthquake Explorer(GEE) and Standing Order for Data(SOD). More information on these and other software projects can be found on the Software page.
For information on seismic activity in South Carolina, check the SC Seismic Network, which is directed by Professor Pradeep Talwani. This page includes information about current and historical earthquakes.
The faculty of the Department of Geological Sciences at USC have taken the initiative to strengthen their expertise in what they call "The Evolution of Orogenic Systems." Visit this page to learn more about the faculty involved and their specific contributions.
SCEPP, the South Carolina Earth Physics Project, began in 1999 and its purpose is to aid SC high school teachers in teaching their students about seismology and, more importantly, get them excited about it.
