Welcome!

The lithospheric seismology program at USC is involved in the study of earthquakes, lithospheric processes, and the internal structure of the earth. Go to the Projects section to learn more about our current, future, and past projects.

We also have an active program in science education and outreach through the use of earthquake data and information. Teachers and other interested folks can find out more in the K-12 section of this site.

Another major aspect of our group is development of software for exploring seismology. Users, developers, and geeks should head to the Software section!

Meet the people that make up our little academic family in the People section.

Related groups and activities in our department include the SC Seismic Network, which is directed by Professor Pradeep Talwani. This page includes information about current and historical earthquakes in South Carolna.

Our group is part of "The Evolution of Orogenic Systems program, a major emphasis area in the USC Department of Geological Sciences." Visit this page to learn more about the faculty involved and their specific expertise.
