[CEUS-earthquake-hazards] Sichuan earthquake exercise

[Seth Stein]

I've put together a short exercise on the Sichuan earthquake
for the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology summer
intern orientation and similar class uses

http://www.earth.northwestern.edu/people/seth/Lectures/index.html

It has simple stuff about magnitude, moment, fault dimensions, slip and
tectonic setting, including the Sharon Stone "karma" model.  She had it 
half right, since the earthquake resulted from Tibet moving outward over 
China (there's a GPS velocity field in the exercise). Of course it's 
been going on for millions of years...
