Meyer This issue of the CRS Quarterly is dedicated to Dr. John R. Meyer. It would be quite easy to recognize each of his im- portant biomedical research and/or teaching achieve- ments at the following institutions where he has worked: the University of Iowa, the University of Colorado Medical School, the University of Louisville Medical School, the Los Angeles Baptist College (now the Master’s College), Baptist Bible College, Faith Baptist Bible College, and the University of California at Los Angeles. Or we could readily elaborate on his activities as a board member in such other organizations as the Associates for Biblical Re- search, Faith Baptist Bible College, United Indian Mis- sion, and The Institute for Creation Research. It would be possible likewise to publish a long list of his successful pub- lic creation lectures at churches, universities, television stations, radio stations, and summer camps in the United States and some other countries. But we will merely men- tion these accomplishments and then focus instead on his many contributions to the Creation Research Society itself where he has fulfilled several key assignments over a pe- riod of nearly 30 years. My path crossed with Dr. Meyer’s early in his career when our families met in 1969 to have lunch in Iowa.

  • Surface and Subsurface Dynamics of a Perennial Slow-Moving Landslide from Ground, Air and Space
    Submitted to Nature Communication Surface and subsurface dynamics of a perennial slow-moving landslide from ground, air and space Xie Hu1*, Roland Bürgmann1, William H. Schulz2, and Eric J. Fielding3 1 Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley, California, USA 2 U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO, USA 3 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA Correspondence to: [email protected] This is a non-peer reviewed pre-print submitted to EarthArXiv. This paper has been submitted to Nature Communication for review. 1 Submitted to Nature Communication Landslides modify the natural landscape and cause fatalities and property damage worldwide. Quantifying landslide dynamics is challenging due to the stochastic nature of the environment. With its large area of ~1 km2 and perennial motions at ~10-20 mm/day, the Slumgullion landslide in Colorado, USA represents an ideal natural laboratory to better understand landslide behavior. Here we use hybrid remote sensing data and methods to recover the four-dimensional surface motions during 2011-2018. We resolve a new mobile area of ~0.35 km2 below the crest of the prehistoric landslide. We construct a mechanical framework to quantify the rheology, subsurface channel geometry, mass flow rate, and spatiotemporally dependent pore-water pressure feedback through a joint analysis of displacement and hydrometeorological measurements from ground, air and space. Variations in recharge, mainly from snowmelt, drive multi-annual decelerations and accelerations, during which the head of the landslide is the most responsive. Our study demonstrates the importance of remotely characterizing often inaccessible, dangerous slopes to better understand landslide mechanisms, landscape modification, and other quasi-static mass fluxes in natural and industrial environments, and will ultimately help reduce landslide hazards.

The mission of The Wilderness Society (TWS) is to protect wilderness and inspire Americans to care for our wild places. The GMUG National Forest has long been a priority for TWS. Since its founding in 1935, TWS has worked closely with diverse interests who care about the future of our national forests. We provide scientific, legal, and policy guidance to land managers, communities, local conservation groups, and state and federal decision-makers aimed at ensuring the best management of our public lands. Our 700,000 members and supporters nationwide and, in particular, our more than 19,220 members and supporters in Colorado are deeply interested in forest planning as it pertains to the conservation, restoration, and protection of wildlands, wildlife, water, recreation, and the ability to enjoy public lands for inspiration and spiritual renewal. Defenders of Wildlife (Defenders) is a national non-profit conservation organization founded in 1947 focused on conserving and restoring native species and the habitat upon which they depend.

This Record of Decision approves the Bureau of Land Management decisions in the Resource Management Plan, Chapter Two of this document, for managing approximately 585,012 acres of BLM-administered surface acres and 726,918 acres of BLM-administered mineral estate in the Gunnison Resource Area. This Resource Management Plan has been approved in the Record of Decision as the land use plan for the Gunnison Resource Area for the next lo-12 years. The decisions in the plan will guide all future uses and activities within the Gunnison Resource Area. The Rangeland Program Summary is included in this document in Chapter Three. The Rangeland Program Summary describes and summarizes the livestock grazing management and related decisions that are contained in the land use plan, the rangeland resource management objectives for the Gunnison Resource Area, and the actions intended to achieve those objectives.

Most of the Loop winds through public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, although many mines and buildings are on private property. Today’s explorers come, summer or winter, in 4-wheel-drive vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and even 2-wheel-drive cars for a short distance. They explore on foot, horseback, or snowshoes, or ski on the numerous trails. Instead of shovels and gold pans, they carry sketchbooks, cameras, fishing rods, and field guides to help them enjoy the grandeur, scenery, solitude, and wildlife of the remote San Juan backcountry. This gem, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, is your gateway off the beaten track. Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet). ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Rising high above the Alpine Loop, the mountains insist that you acknowledge their presence. All around, a kaleidoscope of summer wildflowers gathers along the trails, and the sounds of cascading streams are everywhere. The pure, clear air startles you with its crisp bite, even before your gasp reminds you of the altitude. In front of you the road beckons, leading you higher and higher into an alpine tapestry of greens, browns, whites, and blues.

Because the comparison of these sites is important in the development of land use plans and in managing natural resources, the GAG was designed to use the expertise of numerous professionals from federal, state, local, and private sources. The GAG was operated as a voluntary group of advisors to the Bureau of Land Management, Colorado, utilizing geologists, paleontologists, mining engineers, and others to identify and then rate the significance of known geological or paleontological sites in Colorado.
