You probably remember where you were on April 5, 2024 when much of New Jersey felt a 4.8 magnitude earthquake!  Did you know that the state has experienced over 200 smaller quakes since then?

Wondering what you should know about these earth-shaking events?

Join us at the Library for a talk by TCNJ professor Shannon Graham!  A specialist in geophysics,  she’ll be covering:

• What causes earthquakes?
• Why do they happen in New Jersey?
• Can we predict them?
• What is currently being done to study them?
• And what should I do if I experience one?

Her presentation will answer all of these questions, along with any others you may have related to earthquakes and their hazards!
