This Month's Topic: Celebrating Our Faults: 1906-2006

One century ago, our beautiful city experienced a monumental shakedown -- one that still looms in the psyches of San Franciscans whose grandparents weren't even born yet at the time. Come celebrate the centennial anniversary of the infamous 1906 earthquake, Ask a Scientist style, with David Schwartz of the USGS. A pioneer in the newly developing fields of earthquake geology and paleoseismology (the study of prehistorical seismic events), he'll tell us everything we ever wanted to know about our terra not-so-firma. Plus: Temblor Trivia to test your seismic smarts! Win cool prizes!

Speaker: David Schwartz, Geologist/Paleoseismologist, USGS
