Lucile M. Jones is a seismologist and public voice for earthquake science and earthquake safety in California. One of the foremost and trusted public authorities on earthquakes, Jones is viewed by many in Southern California as the “seismologist-next-door” who is frequently called upon to provide information on recent earthquakes. She is currently a research associate at the Seismological Laboratory at Caltech, chief scientist and founder of the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society and is spearheading the Bishop’s Commission on disaster resiliency work in local congregations. This program which eventually will be available to all churches, relies heavily on relational connectivity to build resilience in the face of climate disasters, not only in terms of clean energy possibilities, but also in times of crisis.

Meet the Grunion
Spend a night sitting on Southern California’s sandy shore waiting for the “grunion run.” Grunion are small sardine-size fish of the silversides family, which are among the few species of fish that actually come ashore to lay their eggs on sandy beaches.

Cabrillo Beach is one of the better places to observe the fish.
Upcoming Grunion Runs
Meet the Grunion
Watch silvery fish come up on the beach to spawn! Learn about the interesting mating rituals and growth of this curious fish. The Aquarium opens at 8pm followed by guided observation at the beach.
Warm clothing and a flashlight are recommended. April, May and June are closed season, grunion may not be taken.
