| Abstract | Douglas Channel is a 100 km long fjord located south of the municipality of Kitimat, in northwest British Columbia. The Kitkiata Inlet map area covers a distance of 13 km within Douglas Channel from
Kitikiata Inlet to Kiskosh Inlet and the opposite shore on Hawkesbury Island. Mapping of surficial sediments, compilation of landslide deposits, and preliminary interpretation of bedrock types up to height of land were primarily carried out using
British Columbia airphotos dated from 2001, 2003, and 2007 ranging in scales from 1:15 000 to 1:25 000. Older, field-based mapping by the authors in some isolated parts of the study area was incorporated into this mapping, complemented with
additional, reconnaissance-level field observation in 2015 and 2016. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This is one of six surficial geology an d landslide inventory maps that cover Douglas Channel. Douglas Channel is a 100-km long fjord located south of
the municipality of Kitimat, in NW British Columbia. The purpose is to provide baseline geoscience information on surface sediments and landslide hazard to decision-makers. |
