Following the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti, researchers were on site within days to gather such clues before they were lost forever to weather, recovery and reconstruction.
On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at 2:00 PM EDT, NSF will host a webcast featuring three of those researchers--geophysicist Eric Calais of Purdue ...
