Liquefaction or liquefiction? Anthropogenic regulation and the influence of evaporite dissolution on ground failure in the 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest Earthquake and beyond
linkOptical remote sensing observations of the 2019 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake sequence revealed a significant amount of surface ejecta in the nearby Searles Lake, including one area where the surface ejecta was arranged in a repeating hexagonal “honeycomb” pattern.

Image of the Week - Lake Powell and the Megadrought
Two decades of drought are contributing to low water levels in reservoirs along the Colorado River, including Lake Powell.
Lake Powell’s highest recorded water level was in 1983. In this 1984 Landsat 5 image, the lake’s elevation was 3,702 feet above sea level.
