USGS Preliminary Report Shows Ancient Landslides Near Oso
March 30, 2014 | USGS
“High-resolution topographic surveys allow fairly precise mapping of landslide deposits and their relative ages. [...] The Tulalip Tribes, in partnership with the Puget Sound Lidar Consortium, acquired a high-resolution lidar survey of the North Fork Stillaguamish River valley in 2013. This report presents a preliminary interpretation of the topography of this area using the lidar data at a scale of 1:24,000.” Quoted from the USGS Preliminary Interpretation.
