If you have lived through a major earthquake in Southern California and found yourself turning to the news to make sense of the shaking and destruction, it’s likely that you heard from scientists at the Seismo Lab.
The Seismo Lab began its life in 1921 on a mountain, north of Pasadena, where the lab could erect its instruments on bedrock, allowing for more accurate readings. The lab was later moved to a mansion on San Rafael Avenue and, in 1974, moved again to its current home on Caltech’s campus. Olson was one of the earthquake preparedness experts and practitioners tabling the fair. Alongside the California Geological Survey, tables were staffed by FEMA and the Red Cross among others. The tables were visited by a constant stream of event-goers, who flipped through pamphlets and peppered the experts with questions ranging from science to real estate development.
