Bagley Slide

From Steve Estes 08/19/2008:

"We've discovered a couple of new slides within the STEEP area this year. One was on Aug 6 at 20:25 UT and was "seen" widely by the global seismic network.

From the seismic network we got an automatic earthquake solution. This led us to the location of the slide. We found it on Aug 10 and flew the perimeter of the slide.We took 10 GPS way points on the way around. We flew past the head at 7500' and toe at 4100' elevation.  At 3400' drop (about 1000 meters).

I plotted the GPS way points, the automatic epicenter, and the location of the nearest seismic station (BAGL) on Google Earth. I can send you the .kml file as well as a .png screen-shot of the slide area, way points, epicenter and seismic station.

Finally, I have several photos to share, I took as we flew around the perimeter.

There is still some additional work to be done, but I wanted to get this out to the STEEP community sooner rather than later."
