Paul Mann and Sean Gulick, both from the university’s Institute for Geophysics, contributed to a special feature on the Discovery Channel titled “Haiti’s Killer Quake: Why it Happened.”

The special explores key questions scientists are racing to answer: Why did the quake happen now? Could it have been predicted? When and where might the next “big one” strike?

Watch the premiere tonight (Feb. 11) at 8 p.m. on the Discovery Channel.
