Discriminating between landslide sites and potentially unstable terrain using topographic indices

Creator:

Appt, Jeremy

Abstract:

A landslide inventory, statistical analyses and a Geographic Information System (GIS) are used to analyze landslide sites and potentially unstable terrain in the Oregon Coast Range. The objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of locating landslide sites with topographic variables and discriminate the difference between sites where landslides have and...

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...

Precipitation characteristics for landslide hazard assessment for the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Surfleet, Christopher G.

Abstract:

Precipitation data from 1988-1995 for 13 rain gauges of the Department of Forest Engineering rain gauge network, and a longer precipitation record, 1976-1995, at Mapleton were analyzed. The objectives were to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation intensity and antecedent precipitation, and understand the role of these characteristics...
