| Abstract: | Destructive landslides are common in west central British Columbia. Landslides include debris flows and slides, earth flows
and flowslides, rock falls, slides, and avalanches, and complex landslides involving both rock and soil. Pipelines, hydrotransmission
lines, roads, and railways have all been impacted by these landslides, disrupting service to communities. We provide examples
of the destructive landslides, their impacts, and the climatic conditions associated with the failures. We also consider future
landsliding potential for west central British Columbia under climate change scenarios. |
