Class of '08 - Regional Studies - Baja, California
Casey Moore from the University of Santa Cruz will be speaking at Colorado College, sponsored by the US MARGINS program.
Tutt Science Building Lecture Hall Tuesday, March 4 - 3:30 p.m.
"Where have all the earthquakes gone?"
Casey Moore's scientific work involves the linkage of structural geology and fluid flow in rock evolution. Currently he is studying processes of earthquake generation along faults, especially what makes some faults seismogenic and others not. He is also interested in how the earthquake processes are expressed and sequenced in the structural evolution of accretionary prisms. Casey Moore has studied both modern submarine subduction processes and ancient exhumed equivalents in California, Alaska, Japan, southern Mexico, and the Caribbean. RSVPs are not necessary - but please note the location (Tutt Science Lecture Hall) A paper that he is co-authored is attached as a pdf file. 
2007 Talks
The Colorado College Department of Geology
presents the 2007 Parker Distinguished Visitor Lecture
Thursday, November 15, 2007
3:30 p.m.
Tutt Science Lecture Hall
Nadine McQuarrie
Assistant Professor, Dept. of Geosciences Princeton University
"What controls the width of mountains....examples from the Andes"
Dr. McQuarrie is a structural geologist who works on the evolution of mountain belts around the globe. Her diverse research projects include many cutting edge topics such as the interaction between erosion and deformation in fold-thrust belts in Bolivia and Ecuador, Kinematics of the Himalayan Orogen in Bhutan and evolution of arc-continent collision in time and space in East Timor.
RSVPs are not needed, but please note the location and time above.
