CSUSB Geology professor to lead hike to San Andreas Fault

In conjunction with the statewide “Great California ShakeOut” earthquake drill scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17, a Cal State San Bernardino professor is going right to the source.

CSUSB geology professor Joan Fryxell will lead a hike to a section of the San Andreas fault north of the campus. The hike, which is approximately one mile for the round trip, will cover dirt trails and paved roads.

“Our goal is to be standing on the fault trace at the time of the ‘virtual earthquake,’ which is scheduled for 10:17 a.m.,” Fryxell said.
