Abstract/Description or Keywords | The Klanawa pilot project utilizes categorical and scale data from terrain and landslide inventories to produce semi-quantitative landside hazard maps for forest management purposes. This project is part of a larger study that includes watersheds in the Vancouver Island Ranges and southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The spatial landslide density values developed by this approach are considered an “index” of landslide hazard. They provide an objective way to rank landslide hazards. These indices represent mean values for different categories of terrain. The landslide rate that occurs within a specific map unit can vary from the mean value for that category of terrain. |
