Google has released Google Earth 6.2 for iOS and Android, including the long awaited ability to work with KML files. Frank Taylor reports that some of the more advanced features of KML files such as animations and timeline functionality are not working in this version. Other features include some navigation enhancements and improvements to 3D building support. There is also a new Google Earth Gallery feature. [Source: Google Earth Blog. Image: Wikipedia]

Comments Off on Geotechnical Engineering Challenges of British Columbia’s Sea-to-Sky Highway, gateway to the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been enjoying watching the 2010 Olympic Winter games over the past few days. If you have, you know that Whistler is the venue for many of the sports including alpine skiing, luge, skeleton, bobsled, ski jumping, biathlon and cross-country skiing among others. The Whistler area is located about 50-miles or so North of Vancouver. In order to get to Whistler, you need to drive along Highway 99, better known as the Sea-to-Sky Highway. This highway has a long history of geotechnical problems, including some significant structurally controlled rockslides and landslides. In the years leading up to these Olympic Games a fair amount of work was done on the highway with some significant geotechnical innovations.
