Then last summer, the Utah Geological Survey dug a long trench to study two faults on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley.
In the summer of 2022, geologists Adam Hiscock and Emily Kleber helped lead the team digging the trench near Indiana Avenue on Salt Lake City's west side — one of very few undeveloped pieces of land over a fault in the Salt Lake Valley. The Indiana Avenue trench allowed them to see fault activity for the last 15,000 years, give or take. Layers of soil reveal how the ground has moved.
"And these are kind of mapped out on here like this. This is the Gilbert Deposit," Hiscock explained in the video above."As it's coming along this side of the figure is east to west, it's faulted down. And on the scale on this... the offset on there is probably five, six centimeters.
