Seismic Monitoring in S.C
Seismic monitoring in S.C. is comprised of several small networks
from the coast to the foothills of the BlueRidge mountains. The areas of
particular intrests are Charleston, the Monticello Resevoir, and Lake Jocassee/Lake
Keowee.
Charleston, being the site of the largest earthquake on the eastern
seaboard in modern times, is closely monitored and continues to be active.
Data are recorded at the geology lab of Charleston Southern University.
The later two networks monitor activity near hydroelectric and nuclear
power generating facilities. Both sites frequently experience resevoir
induced seismic activity. Data are recorded at the seismology lab, Geological
Sciences Dept., the University of South Carolina.
