Significant Earthquakes, Past 30 Days
USGS scientists sharing science at the 2016 AGU Fall Meeting
For the 2016 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, USGS scientists plan to give over 400 presentations to the largest gathering of Earth scientists in the world. The talks and posters span a wide range of topics, including earthquake early warning systems, and a late-breaking session on Oklahoma’s largest recorded earthquake. (photo by Rex Sanders USGS)
