Earthquakes may cause some people to flee the Golden State, but Richard Allen came to California precisely because of them. As a seismologist — a scientist who studies the geological causes of quakes — he saw UC Berkeley as the epicenter of cutting-edge research in the field. Much of that is thanks to the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory (BSL), which operates a large suite of seismic stations across Northern California that ties in with the U.S. Geological Survey’s network to alert the public to shaking throughout the state. Watch Allen explain how the BSL’s work helps keep Californians safe, while contributing to important earthquake-related research that advances our ability to identify the most hazardous faults. 🔗 Full video linked in our bio: bit.ly/4u4HlW8 #UCBerekeley #ResearchWithResults
