Introduction to the Black Canyon City Landslide part of NAGT:Our Work:Past Projects:Teaching in the Field:Field Trip Collection
Kaatje van der Hoeven Kraft, Whatcom Community College
On this one day field trip, students will be exposed to some general introductory field methods by examining an active landslide. They will examine the relative ages of the units involved as well as identify the types of materials involved (bentonite, basalt, colluvium and alluvium). They will make an assessment as to what type of motion is occurring as well as a prediction for what types of hazards this may pose to the surrounding community.
