EARTHx Series: Risky Business: Life Along an Active Plate Margin

California is known world-wide for its lofty mountains, cliff-lined beaches, and sweeping vistas, but the geologic processes that created this spectacular scenery can also threaten the lives and livelihoods of the nearly 40 million people that reside within the state. In this talk Dr. Wendy Bohon, Seismic Hazards & Earthquake Engineering Branch Chief for the California Geological Survey, explores the faults of California and the hazards that they pose, tells the stories of the earthquake that changed California, and discusses ways that we can use science to inform decision making so that we can survive the earthquakes of the future and thrive in their aftermath.
