Coachella Valley

Destabilizing Desiccation Circumstances in the Coachella Valley “Long ago, the Coachella Valley held ephemeral lakes and later an abundance of artesian wells. Now it is one of the driest places in North America, getting only 3 to 4 inches of rain every year. But it's also one of the fastest-growing regions in the state.

Tourism also affects water usage throughout the Coachella Valley; there is an increase in water use when it is…

These films seem to be about the destructive results of clinging to old customs in the modern era, how attempting to capture the past is a futile effort.

California (Fig.1), and within the Owens Valley basin, flanked by the Sierra Nevada and Inyo/White mountain ranges to the west and east, respectively. The hills are of particular interest as they represent an unusual combination of lithologies, structures, and a geomorphology that is inconsistent for the basin. Using geophysical methods, I hope to infer the source of this outcrop. A long-runout landslide, or a structural flower system is currently proposed to explain the Poverty Hills; previous…
