From the report: Communities and infrastructure in the Mackenzie Valley may be impacted by landslides and slope movements. As such, Natural Resources Canada has initiated a regional landslide mapping project in the Mackenzie Valley to i) provide baseline knowledge on types, regional distribution, and controlling and aggravating factors of landslides in a permafrost environment; ii) assess the influence of environmental factors (e.g. forest fire, climate variability, global warming); iii) map and monitor zones of potentially unstable slopes using remote sensing technologies; and iv) map susceptibility to landslides.
This report presents an inventory of 1807 landslides and terrain hazard features (e.g. rock glaciers, karstic depressions) in the Mackenzie Valley between Inuvik and Tulita (Figure 1). The inventory (see Section 3), is accompanied with photographs taken while carrying out field visits. Additional geoscience datasets for 3 sub-regions along the Mackenzie Valley in between Inuvik and Tulita (East of Travaillant Lake, Thunder River, and Mount Morrow) are available in Open File 5738 by Couture et al. (2008).
