“Public Lecture – What’s with all these earthquakes?” flyer (pdf file)
Since 2001 we have experienced three of the seven biggest earthquakes ever recorded with eleven earthquakes claiming more than 1,000 fatalities. In total, over 700,000 people have died as a result of this extraordinary sequence of events. With many eminent earthquake seismologists predicting we will soon experience an earthquake that claims more than 1 million lives, this public seminar will discuss the background to, and lessons to be learned from, this devastating sequence of earthquakes and what can be done about it. The seminar will be introduced with short presentations by international experts in earthquake seismology, followed by a moderated panel discussion.
