Abstract

In this study we used differential InSAR techniques to monitor current post slide activity at several landslides along transportation and energy corridors. The landslide materials vary from rock debris, glacial till to permafrost alluvium. Our results show that motion is triggered by spring melt and heavy rainfall events. In the northern Mackenzie Valley pipeline corridor seasonal landslide activity is related to permafrost melt during warm summer months.
