Scientists know with certainty that California will experience large earthquakes in the future. Earthquakes are often depicted in the media and popular culture, but which aspects of these depictions are factual, and which are fictitious? We cannot yet predict earthquakes, so what can we do? How can we prepare?

 Join William Hawley, UC Berkeley Department of Earth & Planetary Science Graduate Student for an exploration on this very timely topic. Mr. Hawley’s research interests include seismology, subduction zones, and geodynamics – a perfect fit for this topic and our area.
