The research that I plan to conduct during my Valentine Eastern Sierra Grant is an aerial topographic survey of the Long Valley Caldera basin. Focusing on the complex mosaic of landscapes contained within the Mammoth region, I intend to make photographs that observe the relationship between the geologic activity, human-made impacts, and the rapid urbanization of the city of Mammoth Lakes. The photographs that I make will be created using a traditional large format 4x5 inch film camera with the use of color and infrared film. Following in the tradition of the United States Geologic Survey studies, I will utilize a small fixed wing aircraft flying at several thousand feet to provide a platform from which to make the aerial photographs of the the Long Valley basin. Seen in this way, I will use a systematic visual study to describe the unique and complementary relationships that exist between human development, land preservation, and geologic history within the Long Valley Caldera.
