In 1973, geologist Bob Carson discovered Washington’s first active fault, sparking decades of research into the region’s seismic history. He’ll share what we’ve learned about the massive quakes that struck the Olympic and Seattle faults nearly 1,100 years ago, as well as the far greater danger of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami. Drawing on lessons from Chile, Alaska, Sumatra, and Japan, Bob will explain what these powerful events mean for the Pacific Northwest today.
