Brian Sherrod, left, a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, and Derek Booth, a UW research associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, examine evidence for a prehistoric earthquake in the Seattle fault zone. The fault runs from the Kitsap Peninsula at least to the Cascades. Sherrod recently excavated this trench to expose the fault near Lake Sammamish in Bellevue. On his left, a dark streak trails out of a layer of modern soil and is covered by older material that the scientists believe was thrust upward when the earthquake occurred, perhaps thousands of years ago.

Mary Lampe, current director of the program, pointed out a few of the things that were different in the early 1950s: cotton stoppers on the tubes; the centrifuge in the upper left section, next to a pan balance; wooden racks, and working without gloves.
