Landslide Mapping and Monitoring

We are an early adopter of new technologies and techniques for landslide identification and assessment including LiDAR, ground- and satellite-based InSAR, remote-operated monitoring networks, and machine-learning techniques. Our current landslide-related research includes regional landslide mapping which is part of surficial mapping projects, provincial-scale predictive landslide mapping, and Turtle Mountain monitoring.  In the past, we conducted local and regional landslide activity assessments, and regional landslide inventory compilations.

Turtle Mountain Monitoring in Crowsnest Pass

We monitor landslide activity on Turtle Mountain in near-real-time.

Predictive Landslide Mapping

We use machine-learning techniques to conduct predictive landslide mapping.

Surficial Geology Mapping Projects

We identify landslide terrain during our surficial mapping activities.
