a paper published a year ago</a> in a new AGU journal called Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists. The journal aims to archive scientific backstories that are seldom documented in conventional scientific publications. Similarly, this seminar will present
backstory material—as well as scientific findings—related to Iverson’s 40-year effort to understand and predict the dynamics of highly mobile landslides such as debris avalanches and debris flows. Emphasis will be placed on development and use of the USGS
debris-flow flume in Oregon. Knowledge gained from experiments at the flume aided interpretation of the dynamics of the disastrous high-mobility landslide that occurred in March 2014 near Oso, Washington. That event also provided indelible lessons about the
sociology of applying science to high-profile events in the real world.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#201F1E"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
