USGS NRP Tucson: Sediment Impacts from Disturbed and Undisturbed Lands

The Vigil Network: Ski Basin Slope

The Vigil Network: Ski Basin Slope
Mass-Movement Data

Note: Minus values are uphill of line of sight.

Note: Southeast BM was reset in 1966 to correct for misalignment. The two chiseled bench marks were installed at this time to further define the line of sight. The instrument is set over the BM at station -11.7 feet and sighted to the N.W. BM and checks on the line of sight are made to the S.E. BM and the BM at station 46.9 feet.
