| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Destructive landslides are common in west central British Columbia. Land-slides include debris Ŗows and slides, earth Ŗows and Ŗowslides, rock falls, slides, andavalanches, and complex landslides involving both rock and soil. Pipelines, hydrotrans-mission lines, roads, and railways have all been impacted by these landslides, disruptingservice to communities. We provide examples of the destructive landslides, their impacts,and the climatic conditions associated with the failures. We also consider future land-sliding potential for west central British Columbia under climate change scenarios. Landslide; Linear infrastructure; Climate change; British Columbia |
