  • Analysis of Landslide Hazards and Risks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite
    Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada Analysis of Landslide Hazards and Risks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California June 13, 2015 Madison Rocco Ferrara 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………….. 3 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………... 4 Geological History of Yosemite Valley………………………………………………………… 4 Causes of Landslides……………………………………………………………………………. 6 Hazards………………………………………………………………………………………….. 8 Risks………………………………………………………………………………………….… 11 Mitigation…………………………………………………………………………………….… 13 Conclusions…………………………………………………………………………………….. 15 References……………………………………………………………………...………………. 17 2 Abstract Landslides, rapid downslope movement of rock or soil, pose a risk to the nearly 4 million tourists (USGS, n.d.) that visit Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, California every year. The National Park Service has made efforts to reduce the risks associated with landslide hazards by calculating a risk metric (risk level) for locations within Yosemite Valley. The National Park Service first mapped a rock fall hazard line by mapping boulders outlying the talus slope. The 90th-percentile distances, the distances at which there is a 10% probability that boulders will fall past this point, were then calculated and scaled for frequency using cosmogenic 10 Be exposure dating and STONE rock fall simulations. Using these components a rock fall hazard line was obtained and used to quantify a risk metric (risk level) at locations within Yosemite Valley. The risk metric was calculated by first identifying structures within the rock fall hazard zone and then assigning each location a numerical value based on the expected number of occupants and frequency of outlying boulder impacts in the area. The risk metric for locations within Yosemite Valley range from 0.1 (low risk) to 32.6 (high risk). This information has been used by the National Park Service to employ various mitigation techniques to reduce the risks associated with landslide hazards in Yosemite Valley.
