Summary
Abstract: Landforms in Seattle, Washington, that were created primarily by landsliding
were mapped using LIDAR-derived imagery. These landforms include landslides
(primarily landslide complexes), headscarps, and denuded slopes. Over 93
percent of about 1,300 reported historical landslides are located within the
LIDAR-mapped landform boundaries. The spatial densities of reported historical
landslides within ... View entire text
