An Earthquake Crawl of the East Bay

Come hang out with geologist Steve Newton as we explore the East Bay’s earthquake history on a fun and informative crawl!

We’ll start our earthquake tour in Fremont, and carpool up the East Bay driving/stopping/driving to see and have explained to us the planet’s greatest hits, so to speak. How have earthquakes shaped the East Bay, and how can we recognize the effects of these powerful natural forces on our topography?

Bring a lunch for our lunch stop, probably near Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. After our survey of the evidence for and effects of earthquakes, we’ll return to our starting point in Fremont. Learn about what geology has done and may have in store for us, and have fun with your fellow skeptics.

Leader: Steve Newton, College of Marin
