Announcement


If you take this seminar, please purchase the book by David Ulin, which should be available in most bookstores and on-line.
In this seminar the (few) successes and (many) challenges to earthquake prediction will be explored. The book The Myth of Solid Ground: Earthquakes, Prediction and the Fault Line Between Reason and Faith by David Ulin will be used as a guide through the scientific and non-scientific aspects of the topic. Some of the topics mentioned in the book will be explored more deeply by reading related research papers and seeking dialogue with some of the scientists featured in the book.
Please Note: To be fair to people on the waitlist for the seminar; if you do not show up to class for first two meetings, you will be dropped from the course. I will be replacing students who do not show up for the first two class meetings with students from the waitlist who do show up for the first two class meetings.

Welcome to the EPS - 024 - Freshman Seminar on Earthquake Prediction at UC Berkeley. This is a course taught at the Department of Earth and Planetary Science
