"Earthquakes Near and Far" Public Lecture

BSL scientist Peggy Hellweg gives a talk on "Tectonic Timebombs - Earthquakes Near and Far" for the Science@Cal public lecture series.

Shake Table at the Lawrence Hall of Science (Seismo Susie Video)

The shake table is one of the many hands-on activities found within the science educational programs at UC Berkeley's public science center, the Lawrence Hall of Science. For more information on current offerings visit http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org.

 

BEAR Earthquake Preparedness Video

See the earthquake preparedness video for undergraduate students on the UC Berkeley campus. This video was put together by students in a Freshman Seminar given by Profs. Richard Allen and Barbara Romanowicz.

 

Paleoseismic Trenching Video

SDSU Seismologist Pat Williams explains paleoseismic trenching.

 

Earthquake Early Warning Video

UC Berkeley seismologist Dr. Richard Allen answers questions about earthquake early warning.

 

The Hayward Fault on the UC Berkeley Campus

UC Berkeley seismologist Dr. Peggy Hellweg leads a tour of the Hayward Fault's path through Memorial Stadium.

 

Seismometer and Model Demonstrations

Watch as the BSL's Dr. Peggy Hellweg records her own "earthquake" on our paper drum recorder, explains how a seismometer works, demonstrates a "stick-slip" fault stress model, and creates earthquakes in two miniature towns.

 

Earthscope Video

The BSL's Dr. Richard Allen talks about the EarthScope project.

 

Doug Dreger Explains the USGS Hayward Fault Simulation

UC Berkeley seismologist Dr. Doug Dreger explains the USGS Hayward Fault M7.0 earthquake simulation.

Tectonic History of the Pacific Plate

This animation by Dr. Tanya Atwater of UC Santa Barbara is also available with written narration highlighting the different geological processes at play. Under her direction, The Educational Multimedia Visualization Center at UCSB has created many other beautiful geologic visualizations.
