Location: Math Bldg 380, Room 380C (basement)
Refreshments served at 4:00PM in the courtyard outside Room 380C
<BR/><BR/>
<p>Presentation by Professor Mark Zoback, Professor of Geophysics and Benjamin M. Page Professor of Earth Sciences, Stanford University. In this talk I will summarize the reasons many earthquakes have had a</p>
<p>devastating impact in many parts of the world and what needs to be done to</p>
<p>mitigate their impact. I will review the "state-of-the-art" in earthquake</p>
<p>prediction research. In some parts of the world we can predict the severity</p>
<p>of strong shaking from expected earthquakes as well as make reasonable</p>
<p>estimates of long-term earthquake probability. I will also discuss the</p>
<p>reasons for optimism (and pessisism) about short-term earthquake prediction.</p>
