Geologic Hazards Mapping : Mono Basin, 2006

Working Area

West Mono Lake

Field days ¡V work on moraines, faults, shorelines, and deltas, colluvials.

Office day ¡V interpret the relationships between moraines and faults; calculate the moving rates of faults by offsets from both sides of the moraines; figure out the relations (ages) between the forming of deltas, moraines and shorelines.

South Mono Lake

Field days ¡V work on volcano structures, such as tephras, air fall beds, surge flows, pyroclastic flows and domes.

Office day ¡V interpret the source of different air fall beds and flows by considering different thickness and the major wind directions; figure out the relations (ages) between the forming of different volcanoes.
