Elevation errors in a LIDAR digital elevation model of West Seattle and their effects on slope-stability calculations
Abstract A comparison of 1719 differential global positioning system (GPS) measurements with a 1 m LIDAR (light detection and ranging) digital elevation model (DEM) covering West Seattle shows that DEM elevation errors range from −4.88 m to +3.32 m. The errors are spatially correlated with a semivariogram range of 40 m, an unclustered mean of −0.11 m, and an unclustered standard deviation of ±0.75 m. Although there are statistically significant correlations between elevation error and elevation, slope angle, and topographic roughness, the relationships are weak and have little explanatory power. Monte Carlo simulations of slope angle, static factor of safety, Newmark yield acceleration, and log Newmark displacement show that elevation errors of the magnitude reported here can have significant effects on derivative calculations. The standard deviation of simulated slope angles increases from ~±2° to ±3° as the true slope angle approaches zero. Errors in slope angles calculated from the LIDAR DEM are smaller than those previously reported for a conventional 10 m DEM covering the same area, but the decrease is not proportional to the decrease in DEM grid spacing. The influence of elevation errors on static factor of safety errors is strongly dependent upon the slope angle and decreases significantly as the slope angle increases. Effects on Newmark yield acceleration and log Newmark displacement are not as profound but are still large enough to impart significant uncertainty into calculated results. Therefore, slope angle errors should be considered to be as significant as geotechnical parameter and pore-water pressure uncertainties when performing slope-stability calculations based on high-resolution LIDAR DEMs.

Statistics of Earth Science Data : (Graham Borradaile)
Abstract Homo sapiens is the only known species to consciously effect change to the Earth’s geologic environment. We reshape the Earth; intensify erosion; modify rivers; change local climates; pollute water resources, soils, and geologic media; and alter soils and the biosphere. We dig holes in it, remove parts of it, and bury highly toxic materials in it. In this volume, the authors explore human impact on the Earth and attempt to answer the following questions. What have we done to Terra? How fast have we effected change? Are the changes permanent? Are they good, or have we inadvertently caused more damage? Can we, should we, repair some or all of these changes? These are important questions for the geoscience community because, as those most knowledgeable about the Earth and its resources, geologists play a major role in sustaining and preserving the Earth.

George A. Kiersch: Engineering geology applied to anthropomorphic problems
Abstract George A. Kiersch (1918–2001) witnessed and participated in the birth of modern engineering geology at the conclusion of World War II and the founding of the Engineering Geology Division as the first operating division of the Geological Society of America in 1947. He was, during his senior years, America's dean of practicing and academic engineering geologists. The Kiersch legacy is huge and complete and defines the practice of engineering geology as a modern applied scientific discipline. In honor of his contributions to the profession, the Engineering Geology Division of the Geological Society of America held a symposium at the 2002 annual meeting. This volume is based on papers presented at that symposium and deals with defining problems in engineering geology that are created by human activities. This introduction makes the tie between the Kiersch heritage and the means by which engineering geologists can meet the challenges of anthropomorphic problems in applied geology.
