Earthquake Hazards: Case Study Analysis Kaatje Kraft Mesa Community College Kaatje Kraft Mesa Community College “I will tell you something about stories; they aren’t just entertainment. Don’t be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death. You don't have anything if you don’t have the stories.” - Leslie Marmon Silko, Laguna Tribe

Why use Case Studies? ◊Motivation & Relevance ◊Non-Majors’ needs ◊Work with real data & 1st person observations ◊Motivation & Relevance ◊Non-Majors’ needs ◊Work with real data & 1st person observations

Background Knowledge ◊Earthquake Scales (activity on SERC website) ◊Plate Tectonic Overview ◊Earthquake Scales (activity on SERC website) ◊Plate Tectonic Overview

Earthquakes for Case Study ◊2-3 cases depending on class size ◊Typically takes ~2 weeks ◊Jigsaw Process ◊2-3 cases depending on class size ◊Typically takes ~2 weeks ◊Jigsaw Process

Example: Loma Prieta, 1989 ◊4 “expert” groups: Geology Map & Intensity Building Design & Structure Ground Material Overall Damage ◊4 “expert” groups: Geology Map & Intensity Building Design & Structure Ground Material Overall Damage

Information Source ◊Primarily USGS Images & reports Guide them through reading with questions ◊Primarily USGS Images & reports Guide them through reading with questions
