COOS BAY — South-western Oregon Commu-nity College’s Geology Lec-ture Series continues with the 10th annual Cascadia anniversary earthquake lecture at 2 p.m. Satur-day, Jan. 17. Patrick Fulton, Ph.D., will present “25,000 Feet Under the Sea: Tak-ing the Temperature of the 2011 Mw9.0 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake Fault.”

This free lecture is at the Hales Center for the Per-forming Arts, 1988 New-mark, on Southwestern’s Coos Bay campus and is open to everyone.

Fulton’s lecture will highlight the Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project that was organized to inves-tigate the Tohoku-Oki earthquake’s fault zone and the conditions that permitted a large slip to the

trench. He will also discuss the deep sea drilling vessel, Chikyu, which success-fully installed a borehole temperature observatory across the plate boundary fault 16 months after the earthquake.

T h e d a ta c o l l e c te d through these projects, along with fault zone core samples and geophysical logging, are providing new insight into the mechan-ics of fault zones and large tsunami producing earth-quakes.

Fulton was a shipboard observatory scientist on Integrated Ocean Drilling Program expeditions 343 and 343T as well as a phys-ical properties specialist on IODP Expedition 330. He is currently a Consortium for Ocean Leadership distin-guished lecturer for IODP.

Fulton earned his Asso-ciate of Science at Young Harris College, Bachelor of Science at Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. from Penn State University, followed by postdoctoral research at Oregon State University and University of Texas, Austin. He is extensively published in leading scien-tific journals and recently received the Jason Morgan Early Career Award from the American Geophysical Union. He currently serves as assistant researcher at the University of Califor-nia Santa Cruz where he focuses on the physics of earthquakes and processes acting within fault zones.

For those not able to attend in person, all lec-tures are livestreamed and archived, with access from the college website at

www.socc.edu. Continu-ing sponsors of the lecture series include the SWOCC Foundation and the col-lege.

This lecture is co-spon-sored by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership Dis-tinguished Lecturer Pro-gram for the IODP.

Additional talks sched-uled this year, all starting at 7 p.m., include: David Jew-itt on March 7, with “Death from Space”; Joel Pederson on Saturday, April 18, on “New Approaches for Dat-ing Rock Art, Addressing a Hot Archaeological Debate with Cool Geology”; and Dr. David Montgomery on May 16, with “The Rocks Don’t Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah’s Flood.”

NEWPORT (AP) — Ore-gon’s state geologist has urged Oregon State Univer-sity not to put a marine stud-ies building in the tsunami zone south of Newport’s Yaquina Bay Bridge — or at least to build it to withstand waves as high as 43 feet.

Vicki McConnell says the building is designed with a capacity of 500, the maxi-mum state law allows in a tsunami zone.

The school says that fewer than 300 would actually work and study there, and students would have quar-ters on higher grounds — making the risk manageable.

FollowYourHeartIt was the wise man solomon

who said, “He (God) has madeeverything beautiful in its time.He has also set eternity intheir heart” ecclesiastes 3:11.A.W. Tozer wrote, “of all God’screation, humanity is the onlycreature implanted with spiritualaspirations.” Another personwrote, “If there is no heaven whydo I hear the songs of angels?”

All of this is to show thateach of us has a longing forsomething to worship. It tells uswhy we find ourselves longingfor something more meaningfulthan this existence we are living.some may feel this is really notso, yet as we all get older thatlonging becomes more intense.

The Christmas movies thatare now over were fun to watchand often some young man orwoman was told “follow yourheart.” As the new year is uponus, I want to encourage each ofyou to follow your heart. notin that romantic sense that wasportrayed in the movies, butthat longing that God placed inyour heart. The one that saysthat there is something far moremeaningful than that which youhave been pursuing. In the end,having gained it all, what will itmatter if youmiss out on heaven?

make 2015 the year youfollow your heart that will leadyou to a relationship with Godwho gives life meaning.

Comeworship with us sunday.
