�^�C�g��: Using a Geographic Information System to Understand the 1994
          Northridge, California Earthquake
          
�T�v    : "Prof. Abolins will present work on a project that help university
          students understand the 1994 Northridge, California Earthquake.  To
          understand cultural and physical aspects of the earthquake,
          university students use geographic information system software to
          examine the characteristics of the affected human population (e.g.,
          population density), damage to buildings, changes in the natural
          landscape (e.g., landslides) and ground shaking.  Although the
          Northridge Earthquake is often described as an 'urban' earthquake,
          students learn that much of the strongly-shaken region was
          sparsely-populated, lessening the human impact."
