Seeing Faults, Landslides and
other Landforms with Lasers
Graham Kent, University of Nevada Reno
This technology allows the user to strip away
trees (or study the canopy) to reveal an amazing
picture of unheralded clarity (sub-meter horizontal
and 3.5 centimeter vertical resolution). Active
faults, landslides and other landforms jump off the
screen, enabling discoveries such as the landward
extension of basin-forming faults (such as the West
Tahoe and Incline Village faults). Paleo-landslides
abound... Together with Sonar mapping in the
lakes of the Tahoe Basin, the first true baseline of
the basin is recorded.
You will be amazed!
