Oregon State professor and head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering Scott Ashford will be in Chile for the next week, as a part of a 30-member scientific team that will be studying the effects of the recent earthquake. Ashford will be reporting on his experiences in the Powered by Orange blog.
Ashford was quoted in a ‘Nature News’ story on why earthquake damage in Chile, while still severe, was so much less catastrophic than damage in Haiti.
