This is a unanimous decision made by the VR Foundation Board of Directors, after careful deliberation about how best to serve the vitiligo community. In a way, we are a victim of our own success in transforming the landscape of vitiligo research, awareness and funding.
What is a Seismologist? Seismology is the study of seismic waves, energy waves caused by rock suddenly breaking apart within the earth or the slipping of tectonic plates. We know these as events as earthquakes.
Seismite formed by liquefaction of sediments during a Late Ordovician earthquake (northern Kentucky, USA). Paleoseismology looks at geologic sediments and rocks, for signs of ancient earthquakes. It is used to supplement seismic monitoring, for the calculation of seismic hazard. Paleoseismology is usually restricted to geologic regimes that have undergone continuous sediment creation for the last few thousand years, such as swamps, lakes, river beds and shorelines.
