Geohazard Hiking on Cougar Mountain - Keeping Sane in COVID Times

Tom Doe (Golder Associates, Redmond), 12:00 and 7:30

~Free~

Social Time (BYOB) 7:00 , Talk 7:30-8:30 (open for login 6:45)

As a COVID project, Tom Doe took on hiking all the trails of Cougar Mountain and the Coal Creek Natural Area with an eye to the fascinating engineering geology. This is less a professional talk than an amateur talk, in the literal meaning of “amateur”—something one does for love, not money. Tom will focus on the trails and sights, including coal mine subsidence, shallow slope failures, and rock falls, with particular emphasis on possible seismic causes.
