[natphil] [Physics_people] Please hold the date for the 2023-2024 J. Tuzo Wilson Lecture - Feb 27th (Tuesday) 7:30 - 9 pm

[The J Tuzo Wilson Lecture mailing list via wilsonlecture]

Dear J. Tuzo Wilson Lecture subscribers,

An update on the lecture this year:

====

Title: Earthquake early warning: Coming to your phone in 2024

Date/time: Feb 27th (Tuesday), 2024, 7:30-9:00 pm (with refreshments 
afterwards)

Location: Isabel Bader Theatre (and zoom/youtube link to be posted)

Speaker: Prof. Richard M. Allen, University of California, Berkeley

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.

Look forward to seeing you all again at the Lecture,
