The findings have important implications because San Pedro Bay’s south-facing shores are home to the largest container ports in the United States — the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Billions of dollars of materials pass through these ports every day. A large earthquake and tsunami could bring commerce to a halt, seriously impacting not only California’s economy but the nation’s economy. “A magnitude 7.6 earthquake could cause seafloor uplift of six feet or more,” Borrero said. “That, in turn, would disturb the sea surface by the same amount, resulting in a tsunami. The shallow San Pedro shelf offshore of Long Beach focuses the waves and amplifies them by one-and-a -half times, so the original six-foot wave would build to nine feet inside the harbor.

RG, a national recruiting and research firm, is seeking individuals interested in establishing careers in information research.

IRG Researchers are analytical and project oriented individuals who conduct Internet research to gather crucial recruiting and sales lead information for clients. Researchers work completely from their own “home offices” and use our technology and software solutions to supply companies, sales teams, and recruiters with quality sales lead data.

The Researcher role is ideal for people who want to control their own schedule and want more than just another job. The company and candidate lead information that IRG Researchers generate is extremely valuable and very much in-demand, both among our internal family of recruiting offices and with outside companies.

On Friday, October 8th, IRG will be conducting a special one-day conference in Phoenix, to discuss opportunities in research.
