Professor Jean-Pierre Bardet, a civil engineer who studies earthquakes, has just returned from a trip to China's Sichuan region to study the earthquake damage caused by a magnitude 8 temblor on May 12, 2008. He will present his observations at a public lecture and Powerpoint presentation open to the entire USC campus community. Professor Bardet was a member of an official U.S. delegation invited by the Chinese Earthquake Authority to survey the damage caused by this powerful earthquake. The quake caused more that 70,000 casualties and produced massive landslides and pervasive surface fault ruptures.
