Arizona Geology e-Magazine touts new earth fissure maps

For our most recent blog, which showcases our Fall-Winter Arizona Geology e-Magazine article, "Arizona Geology e-Magazine touts new earth fissure maps", visit our new digital site: http://blog.azgs.arizona.edu/blog   (/ 29 November 2017 /).


By way of preview, "Oddly enough, Arizona has an earth fissure season; a season when fissures are more likely to first appear or undergo renewed activity. Our Fall-Winter Arizona Geology e-Magazine presents revised earth fissure maps for parts of Cochise, Maricopa, and Pinal Counties, as well as case studies of one new (Tator Hills) and one reactivated fissure (Apache Junction)."

The e-Magazine article includes 5 figures. Shown below is the fresh Pinal County earth fissure.
