• The Fault: Quakes, Slides, & the Lawrence Berkeley Lab
  Dr. Ignacio Chapela, associate professor of Environmental Science at UC Berkeley introduces the dangers caused by unstable areas above the campus, and Dr. Garniss Curtis, Professor Emeritus in the Department Earth and Planetary Science, explains that a collapsed crater or caldera of an old volcano containing unstable soil underlies many of the laboratory buildings above the UC Berkeley campus. He emphasizes how dangerous this might be in the event of the expected earthquake on the nearby Hayward Fault. (Dr. Curtis previously explained this in a Letter to the Regents in 2008.)
