Archived: Safe Schools/Healthy Students: Missoula, Montana
Encompassing a land area approximately the size of the state of Delaware, Missoula County has been experiencing increasingly high rates of poverty, unemployment, and violence related to the region's continual population growth. Over the past 10 years, Missoula County has grown by 13%, a factor which has changed the fabric of life in the community. Statistics have shown that criminal behavior, including felony assault, rape, and robbery, has increased by 53%, and incidents of domestic violence by more than 31 %. Home ownership is unattainable by 60% of the residents, since the 19% poverty rate exceeds both state and national averages. Impact of the area's growth, however, is most apparent in the behavior of the county's youth. From 1993 to 1996, alcohol and other drug citations increased at a rate twice the national average, while 35% of the youth indicate life is not worth living. The school district, in which 34% of the students qualify for free or reduced cost lunch, serves 9,214 stu ... [Read More]

CVO Website - Glacial Lake Missoula
Proof that only one graded backflood rhythmite is produced per Missoulaflood permits revisions in the inferred age of the floods. Earlierspeculations such as the notion of an "early Pinedale" flood 18,000 to 20,000years ago (Richmond, et.al., 1965; Bretz, 1969, Baker, 1973), are now suspectbecause of limiting ages on the Cordilleran ice sheet , Lake Missoula , and the Missoula floods . Glacial LakeMissoula could have existed only within the broad limits between preglacialCarbon-14 dates as young as approximately 17,200 years B.P. and postglacialdates as old as 11,000 years B.P. in southernmost British Columbia (Clague,1981). If the Purcell Trench lobe took a millennium to advance 100kilometers from there to the Bitterroot Range and a millennium to retreat backinto British Columbia, then Lake Missoula existed only between about 16,000 and12,000 years B.P. The lake probably existed for only about half this period,for the known varves within Lake Missoula bottom sediment or betw ... [Read More]

Missoula, Montana
This is a three-dimensional perspective view of Missoula, Montana, created by combining two spaceborne radar images using a technique known as interferometry. Visualizations like this are useful because they show scientists the shapes of the topographic features such as mountains and valleys. This technique helps to clarify the relationships of the different types of materials on the surface detected by the radar. The view is looking north- northeast. The blue circular area at the lower left corner is a bend of the Bitterroot River just before it joins the Clark Fork, which runs through the city. Crossing the Bitterroot River is the bridge of U.S. Highway 93. Highest mountains in this image are at elevations of 2,200 meters (7,200 feet). The city is about 975 meters (3,200 feet) above sea level. The bright yellow areas are urban and suburban zones, dark brown and blue-green areas are grasslands, bright green areas are farms, light brown and purple areas are scrub and forest, and bright ...
