A scientist at Simon Fraser University is searching through buried plant remains for signs of earthquakes and other catastrophic events from the distant past.

Rolf Mathewes uses analysis of fossil pollens to determine the frequency of seismic activity during the last few thousand years. But uncovering evidence of past earthquakes, scientists should be able to determine more accurately the likelihood of future ones, he says.
