Earthquakes and Tsunamis
Nov. 12, 2025
PLEASE INVITE A GUEST TO HEAR WILLIAM ELLSWORTH SPEAK! William Ellsworth is a Stanford Professor of Geophysics, Emeritus. Here is his Stanford Profile: My research interests can be broadly defined as the study of active faults, the earthquakes they generate and the physics of the earthquake source. A major objective of my work is to improve our knowledge of earthquake hazards through the application of physics-based understanding of the underlying processes. As Co-Director of the Stanford Center for Induced and Triggered Seismicity, my students, postdocs and I conduct multi-disciplinary studies into the causes and consequences of anthropogenic earthquakes in a wide variety of settings. I have also long been committed to earthquake risk reduction, specifically through the transfer of scientific understanding of the hazard to people, businesses, policymakers and government agencies. Before coming to Stanford in 2015, I was a research geophysicist at the U. S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California for more than 40 years where I focused on problems of seismicity, seismotectonics, probabilistic earthquake forecasting, and earthquake source processes |

(Almost) everything you never knew you might like to know about mosquitoes
Apr. 22, 2026
Rachel will present an overview of the history of mosquito control in San Mateo County (it’s more interesting than you might think!), as well as the District’s current control methods and (no-charge!) services residents can request from the District.
Rachel is an ecologist and infectious disease epidemiologist. She obtained her undergraduate degree from a small university in Pennsylvania before continuing to the veterinary school at Texas A&M University to complete her PhD. Rachel’s expertise covers a wide variety of animals and diseases, ranging from how squirrels manage their acorns, to how poison dart frogs avoid being eaten, to collecting samples from coyotes and bobcats in rural Texas. Her role at the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector District focuses on educating residents about the no-charge services the District offers to everyone living in San Mateo County.
