Talk: A Shaky Anniversary: Lessons Learned Since the October 21, 1868 Hayward Earthquake
- Date: Saturday, October 20, 2018
- Time: 11:00 am
- Sponsor: Science at Cal Lecture Series and UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
- Speaker: Prof. Roland Bürgman
- Location: U.C. Berkeley, 100 Genetics and Plant Biology
- Brief Description: This lecture presented in partnership with the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. In 1868, a destructive earthquake ruptured along the Hayward fault in the Eastern Bay Area, which was then referred to as the “Great San Francisco earthquake”. It lost that name to the much larger 1906 earthquake on the San Andreas fault across the Bay. During the last 150 years, much research has been carried out on the rate and nature of slip and earthquakes on the Hayward fault to better understand its seismic hazard.The bad news is that the research shows that the Hayward fault is now ready to have another earthquake of the size of the 1868 event. The good news is that much progress has been made to prepare for and improve the resilience of our communities to inevitable future earthquakes on the Hayward and other hazardous faults in the Bay Area.

The Distinguished Astronomy Lecture at UC Berkeley: From the Accelerating Universe to Accelerating Science
- Date: October 24th, 2018
- Brief Description: Twenty years ago, astronomers were astonished to learn from observations of exploding stars that cosmic expansion is speeding up. We attribute this to a mysterious “dark energy” that pervades the universe and makes up 70% of it. Scientists are working in many ways to learn more about the nature of dark energy, but our reservoir of ignorance is deep. This talk will summarize the present state of knowledge and look ahead to new ways to use infrared observations of supernovae to improve our grip on dark energy. Accelerating scientific discovery is a mission of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Professor Kirshner will illustrate some of the ways we do that at Berkeley and beyond.
