=Deadly Landslides, Digital Landscapes, and the Health of Freshwater Clams = by Jacob Rosenfield This is an annual event hosted by NC state to encourage interest in geology and marine ecology. While we were there we had the opportunity to work with sand that that was then scanned and 3-d modeled into a landscape. We also learned the history of the Oso landslide disaster in Washington through google maps where we went back in time and saw how the landscape changed over time. We then proceeded to learn of the critical role mussels play in our aquatic ecosystems where they work as filters for the water to keep out pollutants.

This relates to environmental science because mussels play critical roles in our aquatic environment by filtering out waterborne pollutants and without them our waters would be many times worse than they are now. I also learned how geospatial scientist model landscapes and what a geospatial scientist is ( a scientist that works with topographical data to shape landscapes).
