Doughty speaks to News Center Maine about earthquake in Oxford County
In an article about a 2.3 magnitude earthquake in and around Greenwood, News Center Maine interviewed Alice Doughty, geology lecturer at the University of Maine School of Earth and Climate Sciences. Doughty said earthquakes like Greenwood’s shouldn’t raise alarm, and are instead a look into Maine’s geological history. “It gets us to think about Pangea. It gets to think about when the Appalachians were so much bigger than they are today — bigger than the Himalayas. It opens up all these questions about how much of the Earth’s surface has eroded,” Doughty said.
