Explorer Series
Robert Bartolotta (Cleveland Museum of Natural History)
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has offered a public lecture series nearly since the museum was founded in 1920.
In 1997 the museum developed a seismology program with leftover parts from the defunct John Carroll University Seismic
Observatory. Mostly a monitoring program initially eventually developed into a Seismic Observatory of our own and participation
in the The Ohio Seismic Network OhioSeis under the direction of Dr. Michael C. Hansen within the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey. Thanks to IRIS, SSA and the Distinguished Lecture Series, the museum has
hosted six speakers since 2003. It has been an honor for the museum to host Dr. Susan Hough, Dr. Anne Sheehan, Dr. David
Wald, Dr. Uri ten Brink, Dr. Seth Stein and Dr. Roger Bilham. All of these IRIS/SSA sponsored speakers have brought a world
of knowledge to our Explorer Series. The tradition of hosting an IRIS speaker in conjunction with Earth Science Week will continue
in 2010 with a program by Dr. Brian Stump speaking about forensic seismology.
