Orphan Tsunami Event next Thursday
Posted by wastatelib on March 14, 2008
State Librarian Jan Walsh selected “The Orphan Tsunami of 1700: Japanese Clues to a Parent Earthquake in North America” as one of her Washington Reads last fall. This coming Thursday March 20, we’re pleased to welcome co-author David K. Yamiguchi who will discuss how his tree ring work in Washington helped a multi-national team of researchers discover the true origins of the tsunami that struck Japan in 1700. This should be a fascinating event! Doors open at 6:00 pm and David’s presentation will begin at 6:30. More information is available on Washington State Library’s website. We hope you can join us!
