			<abstract>Data points represent head scarps, flank scarps, and minor internal scarps (linear) associated with landslide deposits in the Little North Santiam River Basin, Oregon.

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>Scarps are fracture features associated with landslide deposits. Head scarps represent the upper most extent of the landslide failure zone. Flank scarps occur on either side of a landslide deposit, often as an arcuate failure plane. Minor interior scarps are extensional features caused by the movement of landslide material downhill. 

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>

				<procdesc>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. A screenshot of the structure as set
up in Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.
(ESRI) ArcCatalogT is shown in Figure 11. The geodatabase
includes relationship classes between the feature
classes. The template includes all fields for the tabular
data (Table 1 and Appendix A), located in the Deposits
feature class. Individual mappers who use this template
can then easily transfer their data into a master geodatabase.
Appendix B is a guide for setting up and using
the geodatabase template."</procdesc>
