AK_2007_Selawik_River_Slump
US Fish and Wildlife Service was generous to fly Neil and myself to this large slump in exchange for our work surveying the slump. 7000 surveyed locations were used to create a 3-D model of the slump for measuring past and future sediment delivery. Since 2004, when the slum initiated, 350,000 m3 of glacial till have been delivered from the slump the the river and alluvial fan. I can't wait to go back next year and learn how it is growing.
