SCEEP 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 a variety of skills to investigate South Carolina earthquakes and share that information with the public and the appropriate emergency management groups.

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. As such, it is responsible for promoting earthquake safety and examining earthquake hazards on a statewide basis.
