Earthquake Expert to Lecture at Clinton School

Dr. Haydar Al-Shukri, director of the Arkansas Center for Earthquake Education and Technology Transfer at UALR, will discuss the recent series of small earthquakes in central Arkansas and the potential for larger quakes in the future at a Clinton School for Public Service brown bag lunch lecture from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21. The most recent quake hit Clinton, Ark., last week with a magnitude of 2.7. The center recently installed several measurement devices to determine whether there is an undiscovered fault in the region. Five earthquakes ranging from 2.2 to 2.7 in magnitude hit the area in November alone. Bring your own lunch for the lecture at the Clinton School’s Sturgis Hall. Drinks will be provided.
