<p>Dear J. Tuzo Wilson Lecture subscribers,</p>
<p>An update on the lecture this year:</p>
<p>====<br>
</p>
<p>Title: Earthquake early warning: Coming to your phone in 2024<br>
<br>
Date/time: Feb 27th (Tuesday), 2024, 7:30-9:00 pm (with
refreshments afterwards)<br>
<br>
Location: Isabel Bader Theatre (and zoom/youtube link to be
posted)<br>
<br>
Speaker: Prof. Richard M. Allen, University of California,
Berkeley <br>
<br>
Abstract: Earthquake early warning is a relatively new technology
that can provide a few seconds of life-saving warning ahead of the
next earthquake you experience. These alerts started in high
hazard zones, and are now rolling-out globally, including in
eastern Canada later this year. The ShakeAlert system in the
western US has been generating public alerts since 2019. The free
MyShake smartphone app has been delivering the alerts to the
public and also collecting seismic waveforms in earthquakes. We
will explore the performance of the warning systems and the
utility of the massive seismic datasets now being generated by
alert enabled smartphones located in the homes and offices we all
occupy.</p>

<br>
on the subject of Earthquake Early Warning who will may also
share some of the stories behind MyShake, the popular earthquake
Alert system. <br>
<br>
While we are still working on the lecture poster and updating
the related website, I strongly encourage you to hold the
date/time to consider attending this exciting event. I will
communicate more with you in the coming days on the details of
the lecture.<br>
<br>
Also for those of you who are interested in knowing more of
Prof. Wilson's fundamental contribution to Earth Science and
plate tectonics from a more personal perspective, please feel
free to check out Prof. Nick Eyles's recently published
biography of Prof. Wilson:<br>
