Sudden mayhem. Tremendous impact. Unpredictable disruption. Is it any wonder earthquakes reserve a dark corner in our nightmares?
The Pacific Northwest is vulnerable to several shades of shakes:
giant coastal quakes, isolated, miles-deep pops, and rips that could tear Seattle’s downtown apart. The University of Washington’s M9 Project, led by John Vidale, is making the repercussions of each type of quake clearer—and both less and more frightening. Vidale will share the latest research and prognoses, and offer insights on implementing early warning technologies in the Pacific Northwest, so we can gain a few seconds or even minutes before suffering the strongest shaking. IRIS' Distinguished Lecturer Series features Dr. John Vidale, UW and Washington State seismologist.

Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Distinguished Lectures series, 2017
John Vidale speaks in public forum at OMSI, Portland OR on July 26, 2017.
