18 and 19 September. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory: von Kármán Lectures: The Great Southern California Shake Out
Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: A great earthquake is an inevitable part of California's future, and Californians are not ready for it. One of the most likely great earthquakes that could hit southern California is one on the southern San Andreas fault. That fault is so long that magnitude 7.8 earthquakes are common (the length of the fault determines the magnitude of the earthquake). The fault moves so fast that earthquakes happen on average every hundred years or less; the last was in 1857. This is the earthquake we all must be ready for. To help, the scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey and many other organizations are working together to create a scenario that will describe just what that earthquake and its consequences will be like.
