Come and meet Dr. Cliff Frolich
Seismology as presented by Dr. Frohlich will involve raw and cooked eggs, baseballs, coffee pots, champagne bottles, diamonds, air hockey, and ultrasound. In every profession there are ‘secrets’, that is, basic information that is known to all who practice the profession but somehow unknown or misunderstood by the public. All who attend Dr. Frohlich’s lecture, young and old, will learn a great deal about basic earthquake seismology, including much that all seismologists know but seldom tell.
