2017 Earthquake Insight Field Trip - New Madrid Region



     The 2017 Earthquake Insight Field Trip through the New Madrid region will be held on Friday afternoon, March 31, through Sunday afternoon, April 2.  



     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 field trip begins in the St. Louis area and includes 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 2017 Earthquake Insight Field Trip should contact Phyllis Steckel at psteckel at charter.net. 



     You can help get the word out by passing this information on to others who may be interested.



     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 2017, professional geoscientists will volunteer their time and expertise to lead the event.  Continuing Education units (CEUs) may be available through the University of Missouri.
