Mentions in the Media

The Life, Work of Poet Wislawa Szymborska
Wislawa Szymborska's longtime translator, Slavic languages and comparative literature professor Clare Cavanagh, speaks with PBS Newshour about the poet's life and work. Szymborska was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1996. pbs.org February 2, 2012 Full story

Fingerprints of a Monster Quake
How to plan for earthquakes if seismic activity wanders around the map? ... Northwestern University geophysicist Seth Stein argues that there won't be any future earthquakes at New Madrid. He has gathered GPS data that show no pressure developing in the Earth's surface there; hence, he argues, no energy is building for a convulsion. He believes mid-continent seismicity moves around, so that as the New Madrid zone "turns off," future quakes may happen elsewhere. washingtonpost.com January 10, 2012 Full story
