LiDAR

You can really see that? - Remote Sensing and Landslide mapping

Ms. Jennifer Bauer, President of AEG, will be discussing how remote sensing, through the use of aerial

photography and Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) data, has proven to be an invaluable tool when

identifying and delineating landslide features.

The North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) used

several vintages of aerial photographs dating back to

1940 to identify the locations of over 3000 landslides in

the mountains of North Carolina. By locating historic

landslides on the 1940 aerial photographs and then

visiting the sites in the field, the geologists were able to

calibrate themselves to the modern-day morphology of

landslide initiation zones that are over 70 years old.

In addition to the aerial photographs, NCGS used digital

elevation models, slope maps, and contour lines derived

from the statewide 6-meter resolution LiDAR Digital

Elevation Model data to identify ancient landslide

deposits. The NCGS developed criteria for delineating

these landslide deposits remotely in order to standardize

the method used among the team. Through this process, geologists made field time more efficient by

targeting features that needed field confirmation to meet the standard for inclusion on the map.

Come see examples and learn how you can

use remote sensing in your projects as well.

JENN BAUER, AEG PRESIDENT

Between a Rock and a Geologic Disaster: How Geologists Work Toward Making You Safer

Ms. Jennifer Bauer, President of the Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists, will be discussing how geology touches our lives every day and why the work of engineering geologists, environmental geologists, and hydrogeologists is important to us. So many of the things we need and use – the water we drink, the roads and bridges we drive on, the buildings we live and work in – have had a professional geologist involved in the project from the beginning, to make sure it’s safe for us to drink, to drive on, or to live and work in. We’ll discuss real world examples, such as the earthquake hazards associated with the New Madrid Seismic Zone, the cleanup and remediation at the Weldon Spring Site Remedial Action Project and other examples where geologists have been involved. Come learn how geology touches our lives, from groundwater to roads, and how geologists help make our lives safer, cleaner, and easier.

AEG•2012

55th ANNUAL MEETING

Salt Lake City, Utah The Hilton Salt Lake City Center September 17-22, 2012 The AEG Intermountain Section warmly invites you to join us in Salt Lake City, the heart of the Intermountain West, for the 55th annual meeting of the Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologist. Salt Lake City, located in a remarkably diverse and active geologic setting, is in the eastern-most Basin and Range physiographic province at the margin with the Rocky Mountain province; the deep canyons of the Colorado Plateau are just a stone throw to the south. The Wasatch Fault, one of the world’s longest Holocene-age normal faults, is situated at the base of the spectacular Wasatch Mountains, along the east side of Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Valley is ringed by shorelines of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville (initially identified, studied, and named by G.K. Gilbert in the 1890s). The glaciated peaks, moraines, and valleys of the Wasatch Range are only 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. The AEG Intermountain Section is excited to host the 55th annual AEG meeting and seeing one-and-all, please join us. About Salt Lake City … Salt Lake City is a vibrant urban center with unparalleled access to alpine and desert outdoor recreation. Downtown Salt Lake City is home to dozens of great restaurants and bars, numerous world-class brew pubs, and two major shopping malls (including the beautiful City Creek Center, newly opened in March 2012). All of this is in a pedestrian-friendly setting that is served by a "Free Zone" light rail line. The magnificent alpine recreation centers of Park City, Alta, and Snowbird are easily accessed by a 30-minute drive from downtown. Southern Utah’s breathtaking national parks, including Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion, are about 4½ hours away by car. About The Hilton Salt Lake City Center … The Hilton Salt Lake City Center is in the nexus of downtown, within a few minutes’ walk of the free-zone light rail line, restaurants, bars, shopping, and other attractions. The hotel is beautifully decorated, with luxurious rooms, two restaurants, a pool, fitness room, and a full-service spa. Technical Sessions … Possible Technical Sessions Environmental and engineering geology of

Field Trips …

Engineering Geology of the Kennecott (Rio Tinto) Open-Pit Mine: This field trip will investigate a variety of the engineering, environmental, and geologic aspects of the largest open-pit copper mine in the world. The Kennecott open-pit mine, in operation since the 1890’s, produces about 3 million tons of copper, 5 million ounces of gold, 4 million ounces of silver, 30 million pounds of molybdenite, and 1 million tons of sulfuric acid each year. The mine is more than 2.75 miles wide and 0.75 miles deep. We will visit the historical museum at the rim of the open-pit, meet with mine engineers and geologists, enter the pit (lunch will take place in the bottom of the pit) , learn about the geology of the ore deposit, history of mining activities, rock removal, ore control, slope stability, ground- and surface-water control, mine reclamation, mine sustainability, and blasting techniques (hopefully we will be present during detonation of a pit-blast). Engineering Geology and Geologic Hazards of the Wasatch Front: The Wasatch Front in the Salt Lake City area is characterized by the Holocene-age Wasatch and West Valley fault zones , canyons with high debris flow potential, active urban landslides, and textbook examples of Quaternary geologic, geomorphic, and alpine glacial features. On this trip we will visit fault scarps of the Wasatch fault zone developed in late Quaternary glacial moraines, lake sediments, and alluvial fans. We will also visit an active, creeping landslide that is slowly tearing apart a neighborhood, and the sites of other historic landslides (including the Thistle slide, which caused about $400 million in damage in 1983). Alpine Hydrogeology of the Park City area: Owing to the spectacular mountain setting and access to alpine recreation, the Park City area (Synderville basin) has undergone explosive residential and commercial growth over the past few decades. Due to a relative lack of surface water resources in the area, finding adequate groundwater to support the area is a continuing challenge for engineering geologists. Since there are limited alluvial aquifers in the area, most of the recently-developed groundwater has come from bedrock aquifers. This field trip will explore the regional bedrock aquifer system and investigate means of assessing aquifer potential in alpine settings. Antelope Island: evidence of coastal processes of Great Salt Lake and Lake Bonneville: This field trip will review the history of climate change of the past 35,000 years, as documented by shoreline evidence of Lake Bonneville and Great Salt Lake. Specifically, we will examine landforms, materials, and processes that are (a) active along the shoreline of 2012; (b) associated with the highstand flooding of the 1980s; and (c) along the Gilbert level of Lake Bonneville/Great Salt Lake of about 12,000 b.p. Antelope Island has beautiful exposures of contrasting wave environments because, as an island, its shores are exposed to winds from diverse directions, and because, as a State Park, the evidence is well-preserved. Wear sensible shoes. Weather permitting, this field trip will include a couple-hour, not-challenging hike. Guest Tours … Heber Valley Railroad - Ride and picnic on this historic railroad, along the beautiful eastern side of the spectacular Wasatch Range. Utah Olympic Park and Park City – Visit the site of 2002 Olympic bobsled and Nordic ski jumping, and current training center for U.S. Olympic teams, then continue to the historic mining town of Park City for shopping. Red Butte Botanical Garden and Utah Museum of Natural History – The garden is a botanical wonder, and the new museum is an architectural and educational masterpiece. Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island – Visit beautiful Antelope Island in the middle of Utah’s inland sea to dip your feet is the famously salty water and to view wild bison and spectacular vistas of the Wasatch Range. Special Event …Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort Ride by bus from downtown Salt Lake City to Snowbird resort in spectacular U-shaped glacial Little Cottonwood Canyon. En route we will stop at the G.K. Gilbert Memorial Geologic Viewing Park to look at textbook examples of igneous intrusions, fault scarps, glacial moraines, and glacial geomorphology. At Snowbird we will ride the aerial tram 2,900 feet up to the top of 11,000 foot Hidden Peak. After the tram ride we will return to the Snowbird base for socializing, drinks, and dinner.
