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

We are here! The students are on their way!!

Prof Garver and I arrived last night in some amazing weather. I have never had a nicer flight into Anchorage, I took a lot of photos (see the slide show on the right) of the St Elias and Chugach as we flew over. I even saw Mt Logan (tallest mountain in Canada). We flew over the headwaters of the Copper and Chitna Rivers, which we will visit next week. Today we are doing the final preparations and getting ready for the students arrival! Amanda and Kaitlin arrive this evening and will help with the groceries tomorrow and the welcoming committee for the rest of the students!
