> EVENT UPDATE: This event is no longer taking place.

The East Bay Science Cafe is an informal forum for discussing interesting and relevant scientific issues and is held on the first Wednesday of every month at Cafe Valparaiso in Albany.

Join a casual evening of conversation with members of the scientific community presenting different topics each time and encouraging audience questions during and after the event.

Peggy Hellweg presents “Our Tectonic Timebomb – the Hayward Fault and Advances in Earthquake Monitoring”

We all know that the Bay Area is part of California’s earthquake country. Dr. Hellweg will talk about our local earthquake faults and introduce you to earthquake-related projects currently in progress at the Berkeley Seismo Lab, including the development and implementation of Earthquake Early Warning and the study of tiny seismic tremors. Please bring your questions about earthquakes and earthquake research.

Dr. Peggy Hellweg is Operations Manager of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory at UC Berkeley, which has been monitoring and studying earthquakes since 1887.
