This past weekend CGS geologists participated in the Santa Cruz’s “Race the Wave” event to raise awareness about tsunamis. The race path took participants along the tsunami evacuation route from the beach to high ground.

We showed fossils & rocks and discussed topics like where to find trilobite fossils, how to stay safe during earthquakes, how Seismic Hazard Zone Maps work, and what a typical day in the life of a CGS geologist is like. Thanks for joining us for this exciting event!

On Sept. 15th, CGS participated in the 10th Annual Dino Fest at the @nhm.org!
