What lies beneath our Los Angeles feet?  What is the connection between our terra firma and all that lies below?  This conference explores the worlds below us and the inextricable ties that bind us to the mysteries of the subterranean.  Hydrology, seismology, petroleum engineering -- each of these fields will have a voice at this conference -- as will folklorists, cemetery scholars, and poets and writers.  Together, we will navigate the underworlds of LA past, present, and future ... real, imagined, metaphorical.
