Research Interests

Dr. Weide's areas of research interest are urban geologic hazards including flood hazards, unstable soils, tectonic-seismic hazards, and mass movement. Current research involves the Quaternary and surficial geology of the Gass Peak SW 7.5minute Quadangle, Clark Co., Nevada. Most of this quadangle will soon fall under intensive urban development. Related projects include the geology of the Blue Diamond NE 7.5 minute Quadangle, Clark Co., Nevada and the geology of the Blue Diamond SE 7.5 minute Quadangle, Clark Co., Nevada. These quadangles contain the urbanized west boundary of the Las Vegas Valley.
