			<abstract>Data points represent locations of photographs taken of landslides in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon. Photos were taken in spring of 2010 during field verification of landslide locations (deposits previously mapped using LiDAR-derived imagery). The photographs depict various landslide features, such as scarps, pistol-butt trees, or colluvium deposits.

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).</abstract>
			<purpose>Photographs were taken to document and verify location of landslides in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon. The photograph locations were identifed with cellphone GPS and plotted manually in the field using LiDAR-derived basemap. Photographs correspond to landslide deposits and scarp features based on UNIQUE_ID. 

This data set is one of 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.</purpose>

						<edomv>Complex</edomv>
						<edomvd>Complex landslides are combinations of two or more types. A common complex landslide is a slump-earth flow, which usually exhibit slump features in the upper region and earth flow features near the toe.</edomvd>
						<edomvds>Burns and Madin, 2009</edomvds>
					</edom>
					<edom>
						<edomv>Earthflows</edomv>
						<edomvd>Earth Flows commonly have a characteristic hourglass shape. The slope material liquefies and runs out, forming a bowl or depression at the head.</edomvd>
						<edomvds>Burns and Madin, 2009</edomvds>
					</edom>
					<edom>
						<edomv>Debris flows</edomv>
						<edomvd>Channelized Debris Flows commonly start on a steep, concave slope as a small slide or earth flow into a channel. As this mixture of landslide debris and water flows down the channel, it pick ups more debris, water, and speed, and deposits in a fan at the outlet of the channel.</edomvd>
						<edomvds>Burns and Madin, 2009</edomvds>
					</edom>
					<edom>
						<edomv>Earth Slide</edomv>
						<edomvd>Slides are downslope movement of soil or rock on a surface of rupture (failure plane or shear-zone). Rotational slides move along a surface of rupture that is curved and concave. Translational slides displace along a planar or undulating surface of rupture, sliding out over the original ground surface.</edomvd>
