Abstract
AbstractLandslides are a recurring geomorphological process in high mountainous areas like Valemount in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, British Columbia. The compilation of detailed information about the spatial distribution and characteristics of past landslides is essential for assessing future potential hazards. To provide baseline geoscience information to stakeholders and decision-makers, we carried out a landslide inventory that covers roughly 1200 km2. Using visual interpretation of aerial orthophotos, a digital elevation model of 5 × 5 m resolution and satellite imagery, we compiled up to 1286 landslides and classified them into 11 categories and three levels of certainty. The current paper describes the mapping methodology and summarizes our results.
