The AEG News document highlights various research projects and studies presented at the AEG 2023 Annual Meeting, covering topics such as rockfall hazard rating, dam foundation treatment, active faults in Washington State, and landslide hazards using lidar technology. The Washington State Department of Transportation is designing recommendations for post-supported debris flow barriers to mitigate risks on US 2. Techniques like time-lapse Electrical Resistivity Tomography and statistical analysis are being used to predict landslides and improve understanding of mass-wasting geohazards. The Lake Isabella Dam Safety Modification Project utilized geologic mapping and photogrammetry to assess dam safety and streamline construction processes. The study on Sackung displacement histories by James McCalpin explores the formation of sackungen and implications for predictive models. Geotechnical investigations are crucial for construction projects, and monitoring subsidence features using remote sensing can help mitigate risks. The challenges of reactivating historic mines and the importance of early warning systems for post-wildfire debris flows are also discussed in the document. [Extracted from the article] |
