Dr. Wendy Bohon, Geologist and Science Communicator
We all know that places like California have earthquakes, but do you know why? And did you know that the most widely felt earthquake in the history of the US occurred not in California, but in VIRGINIA? In this seminar, earthquake geologist Dr. Wendy Bohon will explain the science of earthquakes and will talk specifically about East Coast earthquakes — why they happen, how often they occur, and why they’re felt over such long distances.
