'Dusty' archives inspire new story about 1886 Charleston earthquake
"The timing of the Charleston Earthquake was unique," said Susan Hough, a seismologist at the United States Geological Survey (USGS). "If it had happened 75 years earlier, we would have had fewer scientists trained and able to spring into action. If it had happened ten years later, seismograms proba

Earthquakes in California are discovered more than 15 miles deep. Here's what that could mean
Still, its plausible that the deep earthquakes are merely chatter that happens at depths where faults dont build up seismic strains powerful enough to generate a big quake, said USGS seismologist Susan Hough.

State of emergency declared near epicenter of Oklahoma quake felt in several states
miles south of Pawnee, despite being the same magnitude and approximately the same depth. Saturday's was 3.7 miles deep, compared to 3.1 miles in 2011. Both are shallow quakes, during which shaking is more intense, like setting off "a bomb directly under a city," USGS seismologist Susan Hough has said.
