Erosion in ActionUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116303586 File Size: 8100 Comments: 0 / Views: 473 Description: Zooming in a little closer to the mountains shown in the "Wide Ranging Mountains" picture, you can see a classic drainage pattern created in mountainous areas. What drainage pattern is this? We're obviously higher up in elevation, so is the white color of those streams caused by frozen water or rapids? |
Wow!Uploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116302749 File Size: 9491 Comments: 0 / Views: 484 Description: OK, maybe I'm strange, but this picture just takes my breath away! This is a wider shot of the stream in the "Over the Hill" picture. Not only does it show the extreme meanders, but it shows great examples of oxbow lakes and meander scars. What are meander scars? If this image isn't in a textbook already, it should be! | ||||
Frozen RiverUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116301757 File Size: 11259 Comments: 0 / Views: 480 Description: This is a smaller river or stream just outside of Fairbanks (Notice the Tanana River at the top of the picture). Evidence that it has only recently warmed up is the fact this stream still appears to be frozen. | |||||
Tanana River, FairbanksUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116301373 File Size: 13627 Comments: 0 / Views: 451 Description: This is the Tanana River on the south side of Fairbanks. It looks to me like a classic braided-stream pattern. What causes a braided stream? What causes the channels to weave back and forth? If Fairbanks is a relatively flat area, what is the source of all the sediment? |
Approaching the Alaska...Uploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116300117 File Size: 12377 Comments: 0 / Views: 428 Description: This was the first set of mountains flown over shortly after leaving Fairbanks and headed to Seattle. This was about 8 minutes into the flight, so those familiar with the flight might be able to answer whether these are just considered foothills, or are part of the Alaska Range. | ||||
Midnight TwilightUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116298964 File Size: 6883 Comments: 0 / Views: 444 Description: It's not the clearest picture, but I still wanted to include this to show that even outside the Arctic Circle, and this early in the year (April 30), the days are still long. This is a well-lit horizon at about 12:30 am |
In the Frigid Near-ArcticUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116298627 File Size: 55603 Comments: 0 / Views: 455 Description: Since we were here for Arctic training, we debated whether we should tell people we were roughing it in harsh Arctic conditions instead of telling them it was actually warmer than where we came from. To support our claim, we'd have to find some snow. Here, I try to take a picture that would appear to be fellow TREC teachers, Ute Kaden and Bob Oddo, with a massive snowbank in the background. I don't know, I think the lack of parkas, Bob's sleaves rolled up, and an obviously old melting pile of snow kinda gives us away. |
The Chena River-FairbanksUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116297607 File Size: 13828 Comments: 0 / Views: 462 Description: This was a picture taken out of the Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge where we stayed for the orientation meeting. While it was a toasty 75 degrees F while we were there, it was only recently that it warmed up, so large chunks of ice could be seen flowing down this river while we were there | |||
Near Atlanta, GeorgiaUploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116297178 File Size: 14204 Comments: 0 / Views: 411 Description: OK, so this is far from Fairbanks and the Arctic, but still thought it was a good picture of a typical east coast USA drainage pattern. To relate it to the project, I guess you could compare the terrain and vegetation cover at this time of year (April 28) to Alaska. |
The Native Peoples of ...Uploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116128081 File Size: 23682 Comments: 0 / Views: 494 Description: This is a slide taken from Sean Topkok's presentation to us that can be downloaded at http://www.arcus.org/TREC/VBC/index.php?showtopic=11 |
What's Wrong With ...Uploaded by: Steve_Marshall On: 1116127826 File Size: 26676 Comments: 0 / Views: 460 Description: I can't tell if Amy, Tom, and I are too fast or too slow, but we're obviously not at the same point in the dance as our instructor is. Maybe we just wanted to show off our "strength." The arm bent upright, with elbow in hand was dance step symbolic of strength. On the left, another TREC teacher, Leslie Pierce, makes it into the picture. | |||
