Geologic-Hazards Projects

Helps protect Utah's public health and safety by providing information to reduce losses from geologic hazards. Major 2004 projects include:

• geologic-hazards mapping in Cache Valley, Ogden Valley, and the St. George area,
• assessing and developing consensus on paleoseismic data for the Wasatch fault,
• mapping and evaluating landslides in Salt Lake County,
• mapping the Levan and Fayette segments of the Wasatch fault,
• evaluating earthquake-induced Wasatch Front landslides,
• producing guidelines for debris-flow studies,
• investigating the Sevier fault and the Provo segment of the Wasatch fault paleoseismicity,
• mapping the geology of the western Salt Lake Valley and Morgan County for use in producing geologic-hazards maps.
