The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Distinguished Lecture:
Dr. Cliff Frohlich, University of Texas at Austin
Deep Earthquakes and the Secrets of Seismology
Abstract:
In every profession there are 'secrets', that is, basic information that is known to all who practice the profession but somehow unknown to everyone else. Dr. Frohlich's talk will focus on the enigma of deep earthquakes. He will address what is known and unknown about their origin, explain why they are critical to studies of the Earth's interior structure, and discuss how they pose a considerable hazard in a few parts of the world.
Dr. Frohlich's use of raw eggs, baseballs, and even air hockey to illustrate Earth structure and mechanics will engage audiences both young and old.
All who attend will learn much about seismology that seismologists know but seldom tell.
