Oregon Geology: The Pallisades of Clarno

Here’s my new video! Oregon’s geology is awesome, and this is a place that has a lot of meaning to me. This part of Oregon has a lot to say, historically, geologically, and scenically.

Studying and mapping the recently discovered Twin Lakes Fault on Mount Hood, Oregon. This segment bounds Frog Lake, and the lake is being dropped down while the mountain is being uplifted. This is called a normal fault. In most places, the scarp is about 1.5m high. The downed tree crosses the scarp.

New video on BetterGeology about lava tree molds! These are found in Central Oregon.
