1906 Commemorative Lecture
USGS Bay Area Earthquake Probabilities and Loss Estimate

April 22, 2003, Sibley Auditorium, UC Berkeley.

The UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory is sponsoring a lecture series in commemoration of the April 18, 1906 earthquake. This lecture series is part of a campus-wide effort to observe the centennial of the 1906 earthquake. The public lecture is held each April and focuses on issues of earthquakes and society.

The inaugural lecture in the series was delivered by Dr. David Schwarz of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park. Dr. Schwartz is the leader of Working Group '02, a wide cross-section of the Earth science community, dedicated quantifing earthquake hazards in the San Francisco Bay Area. This lecture was to be part of the first public announcement of the new probabilities by Working Group '02.
