Hello and welcome to Generation Insight: Amplifying Young Voices.

This new episode is about earthquakes awareness & preparation and insights from a globally recognized Seismologist. Today I’m honored to welcome a very special guest, Dr. Peggy Hellweg. Dr. Hellweg is a highly respected seismologist whose groundbreaking work has significantly advanced our understanding of seismic activity and earthquake monitoring.

Before 2000, Dr. Hellweg dedicated many years to extensive research and studies across multiple universities, focusing on science with a specialization in Seismology. Between 2001 and 2021, Dr. Hellweg was at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory as Operations Manager for the BSL's network of high quality seismometer/accelerometer stations. She was previously Project Manager for the Earthquake Early Warning activities at the BSL and spearheaded outreach to users of the EEW system, CISN ShakeAlert. Dr. Hellweg just retired as President of the Seismological Society of America.
