A Block Physical Geography - Today we'll look at Mass Wasting (falls, slides, and flows). We will figure out the causes of Mass Wasting by looking at both the driving and resisting forces on hillsides and slopes. We will try to figure out some slope stabilization practices and specifically we'll look at what has been done at Goose Spit to stop erosion of the Willemar Bluffs along Balmoral Beach. We'll also review the problems of the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99 from West Vancouver to Squamish), The Trans-Canada through the Rockies (Highway 1), The Number 3 Highway from Hope (1965 Hope Slide) and we'll review the Oso Washington slide from March 2014 as well as the 2019 Joffre Peak landslides. And, of course, the Coquihallla Mudslides of 2021...Highway 5 was closed to regular vehicle traffic on Nov. 14, 2021, due to damage caused by an atmospheric river. Flooding and washouts associated with the November 2021 rain damaged more than 20 sites along 130 kilometres of the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt. This included seven bridges where spans completely collapsed or were heavily damaged.
You will define rock fall, debris avalanche, landslide, mud flow, and soil creep and work on questions in your Geomorphology workbook.

B Block Criminology -Don't forget you have one last term three question to answer:
What can you do to reduce the chances of being victimized by a good burglar? - Consider targets (houses, cars AND commercial properties like businesses)
To Help: What makes a good burglar?
Then, in order to understand "professional" thieves, I am going to show you an episode of "White Collar". The premise of the show is that Neal Caffrey, a renowned con artist, forger, and thief, is captured after a three-year game of cat and mouse with the FBI, specifically Special Agent Peter Burke. With only three months left in his four-year sentence, he escapes to look for his girlfriend, Kate. Peter Burke once again finds Caffrey and returns him to prison. This time, Caffrey proposes a deal to help Burke apprehend dangerous white collar criminals with the FBI as part of a work-release program. After some hesitation, Burke agrees. They thus begin their unconventional and testy relationship. Today's episode is called Copycat Caffrey. When the theft of a famous painting makes the papers, Neal and Peter think they have a copycat on their hands who is taking inspiration from Neal's past exploits.
