GIS Susceptibility Maps for Shallow Landslides: A Case Study in Shawinigan, Quebec, Canada
Landslides on various scales represent an important category of morphological processes in Quebec, playing an important role in the evolution of slopes, as well as causing instability problems for infrastructures and occasionally, loss of life. In this paper, we present the potential for shallow landslides, within the La Bissonnière amphitheatre, near Shawinigan, itself created progressively over the last 10,000 years, by a combination of episodic quick clay flows and fluvial downcutting of the St Maurice River and its tributaries. An infinite slope model, using the so-called factor of safety was used to produce GIS shallow landslide susceptibility maps for the area and the validity of the model was confirmed through field observations and comparisons with orthophotos.
