How Freaked Out Should We Be About All These Small Earthquakes?

KQED's Forum

About this episode

There have been more than 150 small earthquakes in San Ramon in the past month. In one rattling day alone there were at least 19 of magnitude 2.0 or higher. Do all these little earthquakes mean the big one is coming soon? Or maybe that the big one is not coming soon? Seismologists say it means neither. But we’re bringing together earthquake scientists to answer all your questions and tell us the latest in the science of quakes. Guests: Richard Allen, director, Berkeley Seismology Lab Annemarie Baltay, research geophysicist with the Earthquake Hazards Program, USGS Learn more about your ad choices.
