Landslide Hazards along River Corridors - Toe of landslide along river (where bottom of slide is likely subject to erosion by a river)

Where fluvial or coastal erosion has created steep, high slopes in glacial sediments, these slopes sometimes fail in large, deep-seated landslides. The segregation of landslides into deep and shallow is somewhat arbitrary and different investigators have used different criteria to differentiate these landslides. For this project, the differentiation follows the criteria proposed by Burns and Madin (2009) that deep-seated slides extend to a depth of more than 15 ft. (4.6 m.). In general this corresponds to individual landslides which are large enough to be distinct on hillshade images generated from LiDAR data. For this mapping, deep-seated landslides may include features where the failure plane is more than 15 ft. deep or where landslide debris accumulates to a depth of more than 15 ft. In King County, a variety of landslide types occur at a scale that may create deep-seated landslides.当河流侵蚀或海岸侵蚀在冰碛沉积物中形成陡峭高边坡时，此类边坡有时会发生大型深层滑坡。将滑坡划分为深层与浅层的标准具有一定主观性，不同研究者采用了不同的判别准则来区分这两类滑坡。本项目采用Burns与Madin（2009）提出的判别标准：深层滑坡的滑动面埋深超过15英尺（4.6米）。总体而言，此类滑坡规模足够大，在基于激光雷达（LiDAR）数据生成的山体阴影图上可清晰辨识。本次制图中，深层滑坡可涵盖滑动面埋深超过15英尺，或滑坡堆积体厚度超过15英尺的滑坡体。在金县（King County），存在多种规模可形成深层滑坡的滑坡类型。
