Mechanics and movement of the Lookout Creek Earthflow

Creator:

Mills, Keith A.

Abstract:

The Lookout Creek Earthflow is located in the Cascade Mountain Range in western Oregon. The Cascade Mountains are mainly volcanic in origin, and deposits in and around the slide have a complex geomorphic history,, affected by glacial, mass movement, and fluvial processes. The currently moving land mass is about 1600...

Masters Thesis
Probabilistic analysis and mapping of seismically induced landslide deformation in Oregon

Creator:

Sharifi Mood, Mahyar

Abstract:

Landslides are ubiquitous within the state of Oregon, imposing an annual estimated cost of more than $10 million. Weak, saturated soils at steep slopes combined with persistent rainfall throughout most of the year provide a dangerous environment for this natural disaster, particularly in western Oregon. This grim situation is intensified...

Masters Thesis
Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

Creator:

Santha, Rubini

Abstract:

Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...
