Join us for a FREE live video session to learn why earthquakes happen and what can we do about it with Dr. Wendy Bohon on Tuesday, April 25, at 6:30 PM ET (7:30 AT).

Dr. Wendy Bohon is a geologist who studies earthquakes and works to improve the communication of science. In particular, she is interested in improving the communication of hazard and risk before, during and after rapid onset geologic hazards. She has worked on many tectonics-related projects in her career, including the B4 LiDAR project in Southern California, climate and tectonics studies in Northwestern Argentina, GPS deployment projects in Bolivia, thrust fault studies in Argentina and the tectonic evolution of the southwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in India. Her research interests include geomorphology, paleoseismology, landscape evolution, geologic hazards communication, and geoscience education. In the past, she worked as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, the Senior Science Communication Specialist for the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, and the Strategic Communication Specialist for the Earth Science Division at NASA Goddard.

This live session is funded by the Geological Society of America and supported by Geologize LTD, Traveling Geologist, Canadian Society for Civil Engineering - PEI Section, Climate Smart Lab, and the University of Prince Edward Island. The session will be streamed on the Learning Geology Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/geologylearn), and the video will be available to watch later on Facebook and YouTube.
