Goal and ObjectivesCEETEP Training Workshop
Goal: To provide coastal educators with backgroundknowledge, strategies, and materials to engage students andvisitors on the science of, and preparedness for, earthquakesand tsunamis.
Objectives: Participants will be able to:1. Explain how the Oregon Coast Range formed.2. Discuss geological hazards of the Oregon Coast.3. Incorporate the region’s geological landscape and
geophysical monitoring into lesson plans andinterpretive programs that tell the story of the Coast’sformation and potential for earthquakes and tsunamis.

Geology for Normal People
Normal Person:“Anyone who is not a geologist.”
Comments Overheard:• From park staff:– “Gee, it’s wonderful
you’re here. We had ageologist here a coupleyears ago. A nice guywho really knew hisstuff. Unfortunately, wedidn’t understand aword he said.”
• From a geologist:– “Yea, I went to a ranger
talk. But the rangerknew nothing aboutgeology. Didn’t evenknow the differencebetween a granite and agranodiorite.”

Which statement would people mostlikely remember? Why?
• A tsunami is a seismically generated wavewith an amplitude of less than one meter inthe open ocean, growing to 10 meters ormore in shallow water.
• More than a quarter million people werekilled when a broad sea wave, caused by anundersea earthquake, raced across theIndian Ocean and swelled to great heights asit approached coastal communities.

• What do you see when you look at the dock? The physical things you can see and describe are tangibles:
(Size, shape, color, materials, plants/animals attached, word “Japan”)
• What about the rest of the story ……Things that come to mind are likely intangibles:(Awe, power, destruction, family, struggle, life, death, sense of place)
• Helpful if some of the intangibles are universal …..Most anyone can relate to them, and tend to be more emotional:(Life, death, family, etc.)
• But some of the intangibles can be scientific ……Also important and tend to be more intellectual:(Plate tectonic forces, frequency of earthquakes, causes of tsunamis)

Theme1. Complete sentence2. Connects tangibles
and intangibles3. Answers “so what”4. A message, an idea
Can we design an effective interpretativetalk on geology for the Oregon Coast?
Themes for Cape Arago Region State Parks:Geological Connections
•Theme: The Cape Arago Region is a dynamic edge wherepowerful forces shape the land and create a resource-richenvironment.• Sub-themes:
1. At this coastal edge, landforms shift slowly but constantly through theinterplay of natural processes and cycles that occur on a spectrum ofscales from large to small.
2. Sudden, cataclysmic events such as earthquakes and tsunamis changethe landscape and present ongoing challenges for coastal communities.
3. Pinnipeds depend on this coastal edge to rest on offshore rocks andrear their pups in safety. Other communities thrive on this dynamicedge as well.
