tmallard | Projects, remote sensing from existing 'open source' satellite to monitor morphology at Oroville dam, Butte Co., CA, largest dirt dam in USA, 50-years old.
It almost failed in 2017, rebuilt, if it fails the result equals a Glacial Outburst Flood, GLOF, means a 10m/33ft wall of water tens of miles and has no active sensing, no laser targets, any hi•res GPS unpublished they evacuated 200,000 before, streets packed nobody gets out, Paradise and other fires this happens.
So, this a way to dry run earth-to-satellite comm & do geophysics practice as a basis of an automated warning system like used in the Himalaya now protecting villages from collapsing moraines, an int'l team helped setting it up.
This an example from UAF, 2:54; https://youtu.be/gIkgDbOlqOU | 20:45:44 |
