The ERA hosts bi-annual meetings for our members to learn the latest developments in earthquake research and emergency preparedness from Caltech, USGS, and each other. Our next meeting will be held May 13, 2011. Register here.


ERA believes that Outreach is the fundamental mechanism to interact with the community.

The ERA is involved with outreach projects within the community, to share the new technology and information regarding earthquakes with critical users and the public. Special tours for school groups as well as tours for the general public are available.

SEISMO LAB TOURS

The Seismological Laboratory is the working environment of the people who study earthquakes. The tour will visit the Exhibit Center and the Media Room. We will discuss how scientists gather information, study earthquakes, and use this information to understand our earth.
