About Us
The University of California, Berkeley Earthquake Laboratory is dedicated to providing comprehensive information about earthquakes. We offer up-to-date detls on current events through our Earthquake Information section. For those who have just experienced shaking and are wondering if it was an earthquake, we provide guidance in our I Just Felt Shaking FAQ. Similarly, for individuals tracking live earthquakes on the USGS map and noticing sudden disappearances of alerts, we clarify what might have occurred.
In the Bay Area context, readers can explore questions such as When will an earthquake happen in the Bay Area? and understand why some areas are discussed more frequently than others when it comes to seismic risks. We also offer resources for maps detling Bay Area faults, insights into seismically retrofitted infrastructure like bridges, predictions on potential impacts of large quakes on soil liquefaction, explanations of seismic hazard maps, information about the Alquist-Priolo Act, and comprehensive guides on understanding Bay Area Faults and historical earthquakes.
For children interested in the science behind earthquakes, we have dedicated questions that break down complex concepts into understandable terms. Common myths such as whether small earthquakes can relieve stress or if earthquakes occur due to moon phases are debunked in this section. We also provide content that educates on plate tectonics, earthquake detection methods like seismometers, and how earthquakes impact different regions.
For those who want to know more about measuring earthquakes, we delve into the workings of seismometers and by which earthquakes are measured through seismic waves. Our Beach Ball figures offer a visual representation of these events as they're perceived on the ground.
The historic earthquakes section provides access to photographs documenting damage from past disasters, while the earthquake statistics shed light on California's seismic activity rates.
We also cover current events like the Hayward Fault hazard and feature today in earthquake history, providing insights into notable events that have shaped our understanding of earthquakes. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive FAQ for regions beyond California.
The Outreach Home page serves as a resource hub for educational initiatives led by the lab, including earthquake preparedness tips, instructional videos, and information on historical earthquakes.
In summary, the Berkeley Earthquake Laboratory is your go-to source for anything related to earthquakes from current events to history, , and detled scientific explanations.
