and assists in the education of students and the public in earthquake science.

Map of Geysers quake location with inset map of location in greater North Bay area. Tuesday's Mw 3.8 Geysers event (large red dot) is shown in the center of the map with 2009 background seismicity (small red dots). Grey beach-ball symbols indicate notable area quakes from 2000 onward. The locations of Lakeport and Clearlake (to the north), Healdsburg (to the south), and the Geysers (near the epicenter) are shown on the map, and the Rodgers Creek Fault (to the southwest) is labeled.
