Weathering and landslide susceptibility in the Copeland Creek watershed

Weathering and landslide susceptibility in the Copeland Creek watershed

The upper watershed of Copeland Creek is known for its landslides, slumps and debris flows. We evaluated sites on SSU Fairfield Osborn Preserve to determine how slope stability is correlated with rock type, and degree of weathering and vegetation.
