Boot is a geologist with the Missouri Geological Survey. He received his bachelor's degree from Southwest Missouri State Universit y. Upon graduation from MSU\, he began with the Survey's environmental ge ology section working on groundwater hydrology and geologic hazards asses sment issues. In 2012\, he became the chief of the Geologic Resource Sect ion where he oversees geologic mapping\, industrial and metallic mineral resource assessment\, historic data preservation and geologic hazards ass essment. For the last 15 years\, Boot has worked to develop research and outreach related to earthquakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). In addition to the Missouri Geological Survey\, he is a geology instructor for East Central College in Union\, Missouri\, and owns Rainwater Fly Fis hing School and Guide Service.\n\n\nThe talk on Earthquake Science and th e Impact of a Major Earthquake\, will discuss the geologic factors which created the NMSZ and highlight the history of earthquakes within the zone . It will discuss both the direct and indirect impact of a major earthqua ke in the zone and conclude with a discussion on the future of earthquake science.\n\n\nContact the department at ggp@missouristate.edu to request information about attending the seminar via Zoom.   X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p>Pl ease attend a talk presented by MS '92\, MSU alumnus\, Larry "Boot" Pierc e.
