The 2019 Earthquake Insight Field Trip will be held on April 12-14.  This
field trip is for business professionals, risk managers, emergency planners,
engineers, government officials, students, faculty, geoscientists, and
others who are interested in earthquake hazards and earthquake risks in the
Central US.

 

There is no cost for this field trip, other than personal travel costs,
lodging, and meals.  Field trip presenters are volunteers.

 

The route begins in Cahokia, Ill., at 4:00 pm on Friday, April 12.  Cahokia,
Ill., is just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Mo.  Overnight
stops will be in Chester, Ill., and Dyersburg, Tenn.  Route will include
parts of southwest Illinois, southeast Missouri, western Tennessee, and
western Kentucky.  The field trip will dismiss near Cairo, Ill., early
afternoon on Sunday, April 14.

 

Stops will be made at sites that show geologic evidence of past earthquakes,
historic sites related to past earthquake history of the region, geologic
hazards of today, and geologic risks to our national transportation,
economic, communication, financial, and risk management systems.  The
geologic history of the 1811-12 New Madrid earthquakes will be included.  On
Friday evening, an "Earthquakes 101" presentation will be given at the hotel
in Chester, Ill., to help participants better understand sites and issues
that will be visited on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) may be available through the University of
Missouri.  A minimum of 12 participants are needed for this Earthquake
Insight Field Trip to be held.  There is a maximum of about 40 and 12
vehicles.
