[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] Recent CEUS articles of interest-March update

[Eugene S Schweig]

Hi all,

Here again is a list of recent scientific articles related to Central and 
Eastern U.S. earthquake hazards.  Busy month! Natasha McCallister (nramsey 
at memphis.edu) is compiling the articles.  If you publish something 
of interest, please send Natasha or me the reference and we will send it 
out in our next list, or feel free to post it yourself!  Don't forget that 
this is a place to share articles, meetings, and discussion on all central 

and eastern U.S. earthquake hazards and related issues.  Thanks!
