I watched Brendan Meade's interview. Earthquake prediction has always been fascinating to me. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, where my school taught me every year what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. Watching Brendan Meade's interview was a great experience because I could connect my prior experience and knowledge of earthquakes with the information he was sharing.
The most surprising part of the interview was when Meade spoke about predicting earthquakes. As a kid, I always heard there was no possible way to predict earthquakes. Although Meade mentioned that there is still no way to predict earthquakes accurately, some progress has been made. I was shocked when Meade said that an industrial version of a GPS can help them not "only see the motion of tectonic plates, but more interestingly, we can see where they come together and grind." This information cannot help them predict accurately when the next earthquake will be, but can help them find where the next large earthquake will be.
