My Life in Baseball and Earthquakes
How earthquakes interrupted a Royals game and thrust me into a whirlpool of politics, media, and law.
What Lies Deep in the Mantle Below?
For decades, scientists have probed Earth's remote mantle by analyzing how seismic waves of distant earthquakes pass through it. But we are still challenged by the technique's limitations.
Seismic Hazard Assessment: Honing the Debate, Testing the Models
