Good afternoon - the University of Washington Tacoma's TESC200 Environmental Seminar is focused on the 'Hazardous Northwest' in the spring quarter. The series, which takes places Mondays 12.30-1.25 in SCI309 (Science building, kitty corner to the Swiss Pub on Jefferson St) is open to the public. Lectures begin next Monday, Apr 4. The Pacific Northwest is a hazardous place to live. If you read the New Yorker story The Really Big One<http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-one> about the effects of the next Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and you thought "I wonder what I'll do when the Big One strikes" or perhaps "I wonder what other natural disasters might happen in the Pacific Northwest", this seminar series is for you. We've got a superb lineup of speakers and topics ranging from the federal government's (FEMA) response efforts to disasters in the Pacific Northwest, to the Oso landslide disaster, and tsunami hazards. I look forward to seeing you there!
