Steven Sobieszczyk 2010 vector digital data http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?insantiam_LandslideInventory This geodatabase is an inventory of existing landslides in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon (2009). Each landslide feature shown has been classified according to a number of specific characteristics identified at the time recorded in the GIS database. The classification scheme was developed by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (Burns and Madin, 2009). Several significant landslide characteristics recorded in the database are portrayed with symbology on this map. The specific characteristics shown for each landslide are the activity of landsliding, landslide features, deep or shallow failure, type of landslide movement, and confidence of landslide interpretation. These landslide characteristics are determined primarily on the basis of geomorphic features, or landforms, observed for each landslide. This work was completed as part of the Master's thesis "Turbidity Monitoring and LiDAR Imagery Indicate Landslides are Primary Source of Suspended-Sediment Load in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon, Winter 2009-2010" by Steven Sobieszczyk, Portland State University and U.S. Geological Survey. Data layers in this geodatabase include: landslide deposit boundaries (Deposits); field-verfied location imagery (Photos); head scarp or scarp flanks (Scarp_Flanks); and secondary scarp features (Scarps).The geodatabase template was developed by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (Burns and Madin, 2009). This geodatabase contains 4 feature data sets included in a basin-wide landslide inventory. The landslide inventory is one of the essential data layers used to delineate regional landslide susceptibility. This landslide inventory is not regulatory, and revisions can happen when new information regarding landslides is found or future (new) landslides occur. Therefore, it is possible that landslides within the map area were not identified or occurred after the map was prepared. This landslide inventory is intended to provide users with basic information regarding landslides within the Little North Santiam River Basin. The geologic, terrain, and climatic conditions that led to slope failures in the past may provide clues to the locations and conditions of future slope failures, and it is intended that this map will provide useful information to develop regional landslide susceptibility maps, guide site-specific investigations for future developments, assist in regional planning, and mitigation of existing landslides.

CONFIDENCE OF INTERPRETATION: Each landslide should be classified according to a "confidence" that the mapper assigns based on the likelihood that the landslide actually exists. Landslides are mapped on the basis of characteristic morphology, and the confidence of the interpretation is based on the visual strength of the morphologies. As a landslide ages, after its most recent movement, weathering (primarily through erosion) degrades the morphologies produced by landsliding. With time, landslide morphologies may become so subtle that they resemble morphologies produced by geologic processes and conditions unrelated to landsliding. Some landslides have several different types of morphologies associated with them. A good way to define certainty is through a simple point system (see table below) associated with these features. The point system used is based on a ranking of four primary landslide features with a ranking of 0 to 10 points per feature. For example, if during mapping, the head scarp and toe of a landslide were identifiable and had very strong visual strength, the mapper would apply 10 points for the head scarp and 10 points for the toe equaling 20 points, which would be associated with a moderate certainty of identification. Locations were quality-assured by both DOGAMI and USGS personnel for accuracy, completeness, and logical consistency.

Portland OR 97201 USA (503) 251-3208 (503) 251-3470 ssobie@usgs.gov Manually digitized landslide features using methods defined in Special Paper 42 (Burns and Madin, 2009). "The method employed to identify landslide areas in this study uses two kinds of data: 1) spatial data and 2) tabular data. Spatial data are data that can be mapped as points, lines, or polygons. Tabular data are descriptive data, usually in text or numeric form, stored in rows and columns in a database and linked to spatial data. To facilitate data collection, a geodatabase template was developed as part of this protocol. The template includes empty feature classes for deposits, scarp flanks, scarps, and photos. The geodatabase includes relationship classes between the feature classes. The template includes all fields for the tabular data, located in the Deposits feature class. Individual mappers who use this template can then easily transfer their data into a master geodatabase."
