| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Lakelse Lake is an 8.7 km long freshwater lake located in the Skeena River watershed, about 10 km south of Terrace in northwestern British Columbia. The lake is surrounded by mountainous terrain flanked by sediments deposited during the last glacial period (Clague, 1984). Some of the sediments consist of sensitive glaciomarine sediments, making it an ideal area for destructive landslides (Geertsema and Schwab, 1997). The presence of landslide scars nearby and records of past damaging landslides in glaciomarine sediments (May and June 1962) provide evidence of the region's susceptibility to landslides (Geertsema et al., 2009). |
