Field season is officially underway! Denali summit not pictured, but you can see the topographic expression of a normal fault on the right side of the valley. #DenaliLandslides2018

“Approximate contact due to wildlife”: in Denali National Park, the wildlife always wins! Sometimes that means waiting to access a site or relying on remote observation. Binoculars and aerial imagery are crucial to fieldwork here!

I occasionally enjoy a good bird call, particularly when they’re funny! Have you ever heard the calls of a ptarmigan? If not, take a listen! allaboutbirds.org/guide/Willow_P… #denaliwildlife #willowptarmigan

The landslide was captured on video by a motorist, Michael Tabudravu, who stopped when he saw debris on the road ahead of the main event. "It’s not something you see every day…It was a bit of an adrenalin rush to be honest.” By Dave Petley at #AGUblogs ow.ly/P0DQ30kFz3N

Looking forward to another field season in Denali National Park! I'll be surveying and using geophysics to assess landslide occurrence in the park, but we will have to wait until some of this snow melts! (Webcam photo from Mt. Healy this morning).

"This slide is about 3 km long and the track is over 500 m wide (the headscarp area is about 1 km wide)...located southeast of Komo Station." By Dave Petley at #AGUblogs ow.ly/ufaM30jkGM9
