The video shows an aerial perspective of the range front Mt. Tallac fault, which is one of five active faults that traverse the base of the steep mountains west of Lake Tahoe, California. The USGS has recently published a report in the Bulletin of the Geological Society of America that details the seismic hazards of the Tahoe -Sierra frontal fault zone mapped with the new technology.

On April 30, 2011, USGS Western Ecological Research Center ecologist Steve Ostoja and Yosemite National Park Education Branch Chief Shauna Potocky spent a few hours touring with undergraduate students of the California Mini-Corps program. A state program, Mini-Corps trains college undergraduates to be camp leaders and tutors for outdoor science education programs targeting migrant children in California between fourth to sixth grades. This training session at Yosemite National Park is just one way that USGS shares its knowledge with the future educators of our Nation.
