What we are all about

Living on the Edge is the field study of earthquakes, volcanoes, and other hazards where tectonic plates collide. Field studies focus on understanding the science behind natural hazards that lead to catastrophic events and subsequent loss of life. Fieldwork is aimed at recognizing hazards and understanding the processes behind the hazards. The blog chronicles the participants and their experiences in Alaska Summer 2008

Earthquake Park

Kaitlin, Amanda, Shannon and Jon have arrived!  We spent an exciting afternoon in Earthquake Park (possibly could be renamed Mosquito Hollows) checking out the damage from the 1964 earthquake in an urban area in the western outskirts of Anchorage formerly known as Turnagain Heights.  Before heading onto the tidal mud flats, we looked at some of the rotational slump scars in the now overgrown edges of the park.  On the flats we looked at some mud cracks and moose tracks.
