As part of an ongoing USGS StateMap funded research project on rock glaciers in Utah, the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) collected point cloud data of a small rock glacier in September 2025. This is the third data acquisition for this project, with the others being in September 2023 and 2024. The project area is located within Snowbird Ski Resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah. The goal of this project is to perform yearly repeat flights of the area and conduct topographic differencing to detect changes and movement in the body of the rock glacier.
