THE FAULTINE PROJECT: Life and Science Along California's Fault Lines
A Live@ the Exploratorium Event
www.exploratorium.edu/faultline
Webcast Schedule
October 9-10 &16: 11am & 2pm
October 11-14: 11am
Sunday October 17, Loma Prieta Commemorative Event, 2pm
To mark the anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake and National Earth
Science Week, the Exploratorium presents The Faultline Project. The live
webcast event takes place at the Exploratorium and on-line at
<www.exploratorium.edu/faultline> October 9-17. Included will be a
commemorative event on Sunday October 17 at 2pm for a special neighborhood
remembrance of the Loma Prieta earthquake. The webcasts will be archived
for later viewing on the Faultline website, which includes articles on
earthquakes, hands-on activites and links to additional information.
Faultline is devoted to daily in-depth looks at earthquakes: geoscience
research, tools and earthquake culture. Explore how the reality of living
with earthquakes influences the "California lifestyle," and examine
state-of-the-art research and technologies that investigate plate
tectonics, inform earthquake prediction, and improve seismic engineering. A
Live @ the Exploarotium crew will be travelling from South to North -
Salton Sea to Point Reyes - along the San Andreas fault, conneting live
with audiences in the Exploratorium's Phyllis C. Wattis Webcast Studio and
to remote Internet audiences around the world.
Join the Exploratorium's Faultline team and peer into cast trenches where
paleoseismologists are digging for physical evidence of seismic recurrence
intervals. Participate in a virtual visit to the U.S. Geological Survey
field station in Parkfield. Marvel at the desolate landscape of
California's Carrizo Plain, and learn to recognize seimic topography. Meet
the geologists behind the Los Angeles Regional Seismicity Experiment - a
series of small sub-surface explosions to be detonated this fall throughout
the L.A. Basin.
Faultline will define and investigate modern geoscience: paleoseismology,
tomography, GPS (the Global Positioning System satellites), seismic
networks, and stress triggering. the Live@ crew will seek out those who
live along the faultlines (as well as people who've left the state out of
fear of falling into the ocean) and shop the shelves of Southern California
earthquake survival supply stores.
The Faultline Project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and
Chevron Corporation, in partnership with AboveNet Communications, Inc.,
Tandberg Data, and iBEAM Broadcasting Corporation. Collaborators include
the U.S. Geological Survey, NASA Jet Propulsion Labs, and the American
Geological Institute.
