Description
Over one hundred years after the devastating Great 1906
Earthquake that nearly destroyed San Francisco, this expedition explored the
Northern San Andreas Fault, the history of past earthquakes, and the intertwined
relationships between large earthquakes and biologic diversity along this, the
fastest moving fault in western North America. The expedition combined
cutting-edge technology with the use of an innovative, fuel-efficient vessel to
explore the past and predict the future of this unexplored geobiologic
system.
