Some better tsunami coverage

Posted by Jessica Ball

I know there’s been a general feeling of disgust in the geoblogosphere about the coverage of the recent Chilean earthquake and its associated tsunami. Fortunately, a few news channels have managed to get hold of geologists and actually listen to them properly. And hey, if it happens to have been my undergraduate advisor, even better!

This is a clip of my undergrad advisor (Dr. Chuck Bailey of the College of William & Mary) from WAVY News 10, the local NBC station for the Williamsburg/Hampton Roads/Norfolk area of Virginia.

Nice job, CB! I wish they’d consult geologists more often. Chuck also blogs about what’s going on in the Geology Department at William & Mary – have a look or follow the feed!
