- Abstract
The authors investigate the efficiency of the statistical models of the distributions and depths of colluvium and shallow groundwater distributions they developed to assists landslide hazard assessments on hillslopes of Seattle, Washington. A geographic information system, digital geologic maps, digital topography, subsurface exploration results, the groundwater flow modeling software VS2D1 and regression analysis were used in the development of the statistical models. Findings of the tests performed with empirical data that were not used during the development of the models, reveal that the models can accurately predict colluvium and groundwater depths in the region.
