Revisit the special exhibition, ShAKe at the UA Museum of the North. Start with a quick photographic tour to take you through the original ShAKe, and then explore the 21-part video tour (69 minute running time) to learn about earthquakes in Interior Ӱ from guest curator, Carl Tape. For even more detail, read original articles across a century of headlines in our newspaper archive, and link to the Ӱ Geophysical Institute's Ӱ Earthquake Center for real-time information on Ӱ's latest earthquakes. For the most immersive ShAKe experience, download our new 3D app for Windows or Mac, and be sure to share YOUR earthquake story as well as give us feedback on this virtual exhibition.
"Interior Ӱ experiences large earthquakes. Magnitude 7+ earthquakes occur every few decades, but relatively few people in this mobile population have passed the stories to the next generation. The history of Interior earthquakes demonstrates that we are in a seismically active—and even hazardous—region.
Earthquakes happen every day in Ӱ and major, damaging earthquakes happen in Interior Ӱ every few decades. We can learn from past stories to prepare for the future. Our hope is that this exhibit will raise earthquake awareness in Interior Ӱ, describe the extent of Ӱ earthquakes, and look at how historical earthquakes were featured in the newspapers of the time.”
-- Guest Curator and Associate Professor of Geophysics, Carl Tape
