Abstract

Landslide-susceptibility evaluations based on bedrock units, slope inclination, and aspect (slope orientation) incorporate the lithologic, stratigraphic, structural, and topographic passive conditions contributing to landsliding as outlined by Sharpe (1938). Generalized results based on passive condition analyses may define potential for failure over entire states or large parts of states, establishing an approximate landslide susceptibility for specific areas that are still in need of detailed study. This provides a preliminary susceptibility for use in land management and identifies high-priority areas for future detailed investigations.
