#NEED EARTHQUAKE EXPERT
4 messages in this thread
Hi there! I produce a series of 90 second tv news videos called "Inside
Science" for the American Institute of Physics and am looking for a
scientist… preferably someone with a physics background… who can explain
very simply why earthquakes occur. This is for a video feature on the science
of earthquakes to be produced in April.
I need someone in the VA/MD/DC/DEL area who is comfortable on camera, can
explain earthquakes as if talking to 8th graders, and speaks clearly. Please
send any suggestions to kwilson@aip.org or to this compuserve address with my
name in the subject heading. Thanks,
Kelli Wilson

Hi, Kelli–
Welcome to the forum/section!
While you may turn up some references here, you can broaden your search by
trying GO EARTH forum and the usenet newsgroups sci.geo.earthquakes and/or
sci.geo.geology; using newsgroups on CIS is discussed in SCIGEO.TXT in this
forum's library (although I do not describe _posting_ messages, at least it
gets you into the newsgroup). Be aware that your Internet E-mail address is
75022.3015@compuserve.com when asking for responses.

I am probably not what you want. I am a Chemical Enigneer with a hobby of
geology. I wrote "Underfoot, A Geologic Guide to the Appalachian Trail" (two
edi-
tions) give general talks on geology to local schools, scout groups and at
biennial
meetings of the Appalachian Trail Conference. I am about to start teaching a
six
week noncredit course to retirees at The Kingsport University Center. I can
hold
attention and made a a number of slides of geology including faults all around
the
U. S. I enjoy giving programs and thought I would let you know. I am employed
full time.
Where along the trail do you live? I lived in Maryland for a while just west
of the trail (Hagerstown) and crossed it every day for work. Walk short bits
in my area.
