LANDSLIDE ANALYSIS AND SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING Thomas T. Alfoldi P.Eng. Canada Centre for Remote Sensing Energy, Mines and Resources Canada ABSTRACT The eastern portion of Ontario is extensively covered by a glacio/lacustrian deposit, popularly called "Leda" clay. This clay has the particular feature of being extremely sensitive to disturbance. A critical loss of strength results from re moulding, which phenomenon is manifest throughout the region as landslides. Airphoto interpretation proves to be the only practical and economical means of identifying existing landslides over a large area. By examining the nature of such landslides in both theory and ground observation, and subsequently developing an airphoto recognition pattern, it has been possible to do an inventory of landslides over eastern Ontario using existing aerial photog raphy. An attempt is also made to construct a list of those parameters which are recordable on remotely - sensed imagery and indicate susceptibility to slope failure. INTRODUCTION Landslides are a common feature in eastern Ontario. It is disturbing to note that this phenomenon occurs repeatedly in populated areas, yet the state of the art for landslide prediction is in its infancy still. Detailed soil mechanics investigations of landslides or landslide - prone slopes is the most exacting form of analysis, yet is is impractical and costly when large regions must be considered. Remote sensing proves to be the best method of studying the regional aspect of landsliding. The first obvious step in this problem is to construct an inventory of existing landslides, since a landslide density map is also a rough form of a land slide susceptibility map. Such an inventory is ideally done, using airphoto interpretation. Similarly, evaluating the susceptibility of earth slopes to sliding can be accomplished qualitatively using remote sensing methods to cover large areas.
