BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — The nation's top geologist will discuss fossil fuel resources and communities' ability to recover from earthquakes in two lectures at Indiana University.

U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt will speak Feb. 6 at the school's Bloomington campus. The lectures are free and open to the public.

The first lecture in the Geology Building will focus on how various communities have prepared for and coped with the destruction of earthquakes. She will examine how building codes and other factors affect the extent of damage.

The second lecture in the Fine Arts Auditorium will review the U.S. outlook for fossil fuel development.
