Workshop on the Applications of Precarious Rocks and Related Fragile Geological Features to US National Hazard Maps

Date: 02/19/2010

UNR will be hosting a US Geological Survey sponsored "Workshop on the Applications of Precarious Rocks and Related Fragile Geological Features to US National Hazard Maps". The workshop will be in Reno, Nevada, on October 4-5, 2010.

The goal of this workshop is to develop recommendations to the USGS on the use of precariously balanced rocks and related fragile geological features to improve the national seismic hazard maps. The attached workshop announcement gives a more complete description of key questions, as we currently see them, to be discussed at the workshop.
