Seismologists Watch the Line

Seismologists are a special breed because, basically, all we do is watch the line. Any resemblance to the similar-sounding song by Johnny Cash is strongly intended. Dr. Richard Alley, Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at the Pennsylvania State University, takes a humorous musical look at why seismologists are important in our world. It is a pity that his videos haven't attracted more viewers because they do not only evidence his great taste of music, but are also a really good (basic) learning aid for undergraduate students. So you better watch the line.
