From left, USGS research geophysicist Dr. Rufus Catchings and USGS' Coyn Criley work out the placement of seismometers around Warren Hall (in background) on California State University East Bay's Hayward campus. The landmark building’s implosion will produce energy similar to a small earthquake that can be used to study and map the nearby Hayward Fault.
