Assessment of submarine slope failures off Vancouver Island, British Columbia / M. Riedel, K. Naegeli, M.M. Côté.M183-2/8008E-PDF

"Here we report on the general nature of the slope failures, assess the geographical constraints of the frontal ridges, and show linkages between style of failure and ridgemorphology and physiography. A simple model is presented explaining the style of slope failure as a result of slide kinematics driven by ridge height and slope-angle. However, geographical distribution and alignment of the frontal ridges in dominant orientations along the margin remain enigmatic"--Introduction, page 3.
