| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Lakelse Lake is an 8.7 km long freshwater lake located in the Skeena River watershed, about 10 km south of Terrace in northwestern British Columbia. The lake is
surrounded by mountainous terrain flanked by sediments from the last glacial period. Some of the sediments consist of sensitive glaciomarine sediments, making it an ideal area for destructive landslides. The presence of landslide scars nearby and
records of past damaging landslides in glaciomarine sediments (May and June 1962) provide evidence of the region's susceptibility to landslides.
Sub-bottom profiling was carried out in 2015 and 2016 to identify historic and pre-historic
sublacustrine landslides in order to assess the extent and potential recurrence of events. Results reveal that most deposits consist of draped fine glaciomarine or lacustrine sediments deposited in a quiescent setting. However, intercalated within
these deposits are ten separate resolvable landslide deposits at various depths. Evidence of the June 1962 landslide event is visible on the multibeam image of the lake bottom. Dimensions of the landslide deposits range from 10 m to over a 4 km in
distance. Thicknesses range from a few centimetres to 10 m. Some of landslide deposits reveal that lateral spreading took place during deposition. Long-term records of landslides provide baseline information to inform decisions related to
infrastructure planning. |

Ceci est un article qui traite de glissements de terrains historiques et pré-historiques dans des argiles sensibles identifies dans des depots
lacustres. C'est une region où plusieurs pipelines sont projetés de traverser. |
