| Abstract | The 105-km long Kitimat-Morice Corridor features mostly interconnecting valleys linking the coastal community of Kitimat in northwestern British Columbia with the interior valley system of Morice River.
A surficial geology and landslide inventory mapping exercise was carried out as well as a terrain stability assessment for the corridor. Over 100 landslide deposits of all types have been compiled in the study area. Moreover, InSAR monitoring of
slopes, using RADARSAT-2 data, just west of Nimbus Mountain in Hoult Creek valley, displays debris movement in debris flow channels over a two-year period. The Flow-R model was tested for these debris flow channels to assess the debris flow
susceptibility. The main goal of this research activity is to provide baseline geoscience information on landslides for potential infrastructure development, (e.g., pipelines or roads) to stakeholders and decision-makers. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Surficial geology and landslide inventory mapping were carried out for the 105-km Kitimat-Morice River corridor in northwestern British Columbia. Over
150 landslide deposits of various types were compiled. InSAR monitoring of slopes, using RADARSAT-2 data, west of Nimbus Mountain displays debris movement in debris flow channels over a 19 month period. The Flow-R model was tested for these debris
flow channels to assess the debris flow susceptibility. The main goal of this activity is to provide baseline geoscience information on landslides for potential infrastructure development. |
