Using Submarine Landslides to Predict Slope Stability part of ERESE:ERESE Activities
Shawn Doan, Sehome High School
Students use detailed bathymetric maps to find submarine landslides and compare the slope of these slides to the slope of hills near school and home. By comparing the slopes they can consider slope failure, especially during earthquakes.
