Basal-topographic control of stationary ponds on a continuously moving landslide

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The AA. evaluate the implication that pond locations are controlled by basal slip surface topography using 9 years of systematic field observations of 8 ponds, and Global Positioning System (GPS) observations of the spatial position and water level elevation of one pond on the Slumgullion landslide in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. They also examine the persistence of surface morphology at the 8 pond locations using topographic profiles measured from stereo aerial photographs from 1939/1940 and 2000.
