Arizona Geological Survey public engagement projects

Geologists from the Arizona Geological Survey work with other government agencies to inform and engage the public in decisions that affect their communities. In the picture shown here, the AZGS worked with the US Forest Service to assess the damage from record floods and debris flows that destroyed roads and facilities in the popular Sabino Canyon recreation area in Tucson, Arizona. The public remains highly engaged in debating the future of the canyon and whether it should be left in its natural state or if roads should be reconstructed.
