Predicting Earthquakes

Abstract

Whether earthquakes ever will be predictable is increasingly a matter of public concern. In an effort to bring their listeners a rational viewpoint about it, Diane Moye and John Kotick of radio station KPFK recently interviewed three distinguished seismologists from Caltech: Clarence Allen, professor of geology and geophysics; Don Anderson, director of the Seismological Laboratory and professor of geophysics; and Hiroo Kanamori, professor of geophysics. "Predicting Earthquakes" is adapted from that interview.
