CEE Students, Dr. Jill Marshall is offering an elective this spring that is open to all civil and environmental engineering majors: "Sensing the Earth". The class will meet on Fridays from 11 AM to 3 PM (with breaks) to allow for field trips and substantive in-class work time. From Dr. Marshall: "You can read more about it in the attached PDF. The class is focused on developing site-specific sensor plans for 2 locations 1) near PDX with high liquefaction potential - and - where 90% of Oregon's liquid fuel is handled (eek!), and 2) at a landslide-prone site in Portland's West Hills. Like previous year classes, I aim to attract students from multiple complementary disciplines (e.g. Geology, Geography, Environmental Science and Management). Teams will workshop site-specific assessment and monitoring plans for the two sites based on analyzing existing data and after observations from field visits to each of the sites. At the landslide site, we will work with landslide experts from the OR Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMAI) to restore some of the existing site sensors.
