California and the “Big One.” What is fact? What is fiction?
Alameda Free Library, Wonderfest.org, and the Friends of the Alameda Free Library present the next in our Social Science event series, “California and the “Big One,” on Sunday, April 28, 2019, from 2-4 pm at the Main Library, 1550 Oak Street.
Scientists know as well as we know the sun will rise tomorrow that California will experience another large earthquake. But what details do we have? What will this earthquake be like? How accurate is the portrayal we see on television and in the movies?
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.
No registration is necessary. All ages are welcome to this free event. More information about our partner, Wonderfest.org, may be found at www.wonderfest.org. For questions or additional information about the event, please contact the Reference Desk at 510-747-7713.
