2016 Earthquake Insight Field Trip to New Madrid Region



            The 2016 Earthquake Insight Field Trip through the New Madrid region will be held on Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon, April 1-3, 2016.  The route includes geological evidence of the geologic and earthquake history of the region, as well as sites important to the human stories of the 1811-12 New Madrid earthquakes.  The field-trip route is about 400 miles long, and will include two overnight stops.



            The route will begin in the St. Louis area and include Kaskaskia, Ill.; Ste. Genevieve and New Madrid, Mo.; Reelfoot Lake, Tenn.; as well as other sites in southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, and western Tennessee and Kentucky.



            Those who are interested in more details about the 2016 Earthquake Insight Field Trip should contact Phyllis Steckel at psteckel at charter.net. 



            In the past, the annual Earthquake Insight Field Trips were subsidized by the US Geological Survey.  The purpose was to inform and educate those in the insurance, financial, utility, transportation, and government sectors about earthquake hazards and earthquake risks in the central US.  



            However in 2016, professional geoscientists will volunteer their time and expertise to lead the event.

"Minimizing earthquake risk is a funny business. The payoff may not come for a long time -- and then it will be in terms of what did not happen."
