This year it's time again: On 2 and 3 September, Switzerland's largest science festival takes place at three locations of ETH and the University of Zurich. At over 60 exhibition booths and other events, you will experience current research on the topic of "What holds the world together". We from the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich are also taking part and will be exploring the question of how we can manage earthquakes together at our exhibition booth and in a short lecture.
Read more...Earthquakes shake the world without warning. Switzerland's first publicly accessible earthquake risk model shows the effects earthquakes can have on people and buildings. It creates a valuable basis for the population, authorities, and the economy to better prepare Switzerland for earthquakes and to manage them with joint forces in the event of an incident. Where is the earthquake risk highest? What to do when the earth shakes? You will find answers to these and other questions at our exhibition booth on the ETH Polyterrasse. Get a better understanding of the expected impacts of earthquakes and learn in a playful way what measures you can take at home to be better prepared for the next earthquake.
You will receive further information on the topic at the short lecture by Prof. Stefan Wiemer, Director of the Swiss Seismological Service. The short lecture takes place on Sunday, 3 September, at 2 p.m., at the ETH Campus Hönggerberg (admission without ticket).
