Overview of Science
The SCEEP group is composed of three College of Charleston Geology faculty
whose broad research interests encompass everything from the cause of the earthquakes in South Carolina to the likely effects of earthquakes in South
Carolina. Coming from a wide array of backgrounds, from earthquake chaser
to environmental GIS modeler, the SCEEP group combines an variety of skills
to investigate South Carolina earthquakes and share that information with
the public and the appropriate emergency management groups.

Initiated in the spring of 2007, the SCEEP group is funded by the South Carolina
Emergency Management Division and through the College of Charleston's
Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences.
