A view of slump down from the Monticello Village Apartments landslip in Athens, Athens County, Ohio. The Monticello Village Apartments was a complex of fourteen to sixteen buildings when construction was finished in 1968. The level area on which the apartment buildings were constructed was fashioned from a cut on the hillside in the Clarksburg red bed. The mudstone removed in this cut was used as fill on the edge of the hill in order to expand the level area for apartment construction. On November 4, 1972, the slope failed, causing the destruction of a 150 meter section of Hastings Road in the location of Ohio State Route 32. On November 7, 1972, four buildings were evacuated after additional rapid movement of the...

Drilling a seismic borehole for the National Seismic Network at Mendenhall Laboratory on the main campus of The Ohio State University, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. Sprowls Drilling Company of Sunbury, Ohio, did the drilling work for the borehole. At a depth of 125 feet, in the Columbus Limestone, a cavern was encountered. An unsuccessful attempt was made to plug the cavern.

The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen in August 1993.

The COCORP vibrator truck caravan moving west to east across Coshocton County, Ohio. Shown here are the Vibroseis trucks that served as the source of the ground vibrations. The trucks are more or less identical, with each one vibrating in sync with the others. Multiple trucks were used to increase the energy injected into the ground. One recording truck was used elsewhere to record the signals after they returned to the surface. The photograph was taken by Michael C. Hansen in October 1987. The location is approximate to an area in southern Coshocton County where the seismic line was produced. In the autumn of 1987, the Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling (COCORP), based at Cornell University in Ithaca,...
