Shoreline Erosion and Landslides in the Great Lakes
Stability of coastal bluffs is examined in order to determine the mechanics of bluff recession and the long-term trends in the evolution of coastal slopes. Six active bluffs in two locations on the western shore of Lake Michigan are monitored for erosion-sliding processes in an integrated program of field and laboratory investigation and stability analysis. Landslides constitute only one part of the overall bluff toe and the degradation of the bluff face by solifluction and surface runoff. The effective stress analysis of slope stability provides a reliable method for predicting bluff recession in those bluffs where the rotational sliding is the main process of slope evolution. Two different models of slope evolution are established for the bluffs monitored.
