Ep. 23 - Alex, John, Kaj, and Julian (plus Raquel, Edwin, and Ben)

On this episode, we hear interviews with earthquake scientists of many varieties at the 2018 Southern California Earthquake Center Meeting in Palm Springs, CA. I talk to Alex Hatem, PhD student at University of Southern California, John Ebel, Seismologist at Boston College, Kaj Johnson, a Geophysicist at Indiana University Bloomington, and Julian Lozos, Dynamic Rupture Modeler at California State University, Northridge. I'm joined in the studio by UMass PhD students Raquel Bryant and Edwin Murenzi, and Edwin's friend Ben Aalvik (founder of Fully Rooted juice company) to chat about the interviews as we listen and discuss any questions that come up. We learn about how soil luminescence can be used to figure out when earthquakes happened in the past, why New Englanders should care about earthquake science, how satellites are used to measure earthquake hazard, and how models of earthquake ruptures can help us understand both past and future earthquakes. Part 2 of a 2 part special episode!
