Trembling Giant
Dec. 11, 2018
The world’s largest living organism, not to mention one of the oldest, lives in the Fishlake National Forest in central Utah. Sometimes called the Trembling Giant, sometimes called Pando (Latin for "I spread"), it is a grove of 40,000 individual trees that function as a single organism through the connection of their roots. A new study from Utah State University shows that failed conservation efforts are leaving the magnificent organism "collapsing on our watch." Formally called an "Aspen clone," the Pando sits on more than 106 acres and weighs a collective 13 million pounds. Scientists only have the roughest of estimates on its age, with the end of the last ice age, around 2.6 million years ago, as their best guess. Problems with regeneration go back at least 30 or 40 years. According to the National Forest Service, "it is thought that the lack of regeneration is due to over-browsing from deer and other ungulates [hoofed animals]." The study from Utah State confirms that deer are a major problem. Paul Rogers will speak to us on the efforts to save the Pando. |

Service Dogs Done Right!
Feb. 19, 2019
Many people with disabilities use a service animal in order to fully participate in everyday life. Dogs can be trained to perform many important tasks in order to assist people with disabilities. Among these tasks are: providing stability for a person who has difficulty walking, picking up items for a person who uses a wheelchair, preventing a child with autism from wandering off or alerting a person who has hearing loss when someone is approaching from behind. Cathy King will speak on the subject, as well as the topic of PTSD. |

Utah Geohazards Research Group
Feb. 26, 2019
Rock arches are dynamic natural features that bend, sag, sway and shake in response to different environmental forcings. We use ambient vibration seismic measurements to study the dynamics of natural rock arches, some of which are prominent landmarks. Our goal is to understand how arches respond to their environment (e.g. thermal stresses), and ultimately discern changes in internal strength over time. Resonance characteristics are a function of the arch’s overall mass and stiffness, and monitoring over time can provide indirect evidence of internal change. We simultaneously monitor in-situ deformation and rock temperature at select sites. Our research will lead to new understanding of the life-cycle of natural arches, their response to external loads, and failure processes leading to their eventual collapse. |
