KEY TO DATABASE COLUMNS

NTS NO.The 1:250 000 NTS map sheet
number on which the landslide is
located.LS NO.Landslide number.LONGITUDELongitude of landslide location in
degrees, minutes and seconds.LATITUDELatitude of landslide location in
degrees, minutes and seconds.LOCATIONDescription of landslide location
using place names shown on
topographic maps.SITEGeographical setting of landslide.SCAR ELEV.Approximate elevation of the top
of the back scarp of the slide, in
feet above mean sea level.  Usually
estimated from topographic maps.S/M/CS = single slide.
M = multiple slide; an area with
more than one slide, adjacent to
each other but not overlapping.
C = slide complex; more than one
slide that overlap.  Several slides
may become so large that they
impinge on their neighbours. 
Alternatively, an old inactive slide
may contain one or more new
slides initiated by events separate
from the original slide.NO. OF LSAn estimate of the number of
individual slides involved in
multiple or complex slides.LS CLASSQF = Quaternary flow; a flow
which has occurred in
unconsolidated sediments.LS TYPERTFS = Retrogressive thaw flow
slideWIDTHWidth of the slide in metres.LENGTHLength of the slide in metres.AREAArea of the slide in square metres.ASPECTDirection the slide moved, in
degrees from geographic north.SEDIMENT
GENESISThe depositional environment in
which the material moved in the
landslide was originally formed.SEDIMENT CHAR.General description of the texture
of the sediment.GEOL SOURCE
FROM MAP*Symbol assigned to the surficial
geology unit in which the landslide
falls.  This symbol is obtained from
the GSC map indicated in the
following column.  A full
description of this symbol is
provided in the legend of the
map.*GSC MAP NO.The number of the surficial
geology map published by the
Geological Survey of Canada from
which the GEOL SOURCE FROM
MAP* column was obtained.AGEBased on aerial photographs, or by
verbal accounts of the event.ACTIVE OR
STABLEWhether or not the slide shows
indications of recent movement on
aerial photographs.COMMENTGeneral description of the
appearance of the slide or slide
complex; coalescing slides have
borders which impinge on each
other, individual slides are clearly
separate from each other, side by
side slides are separated only by a
narrow band of undisturbed
material, in scar slides are slides
which have occurred within an
older scar, slides described as scar
are only visible as depression at
the back scarp.  Any other
information related to published
references, forest fires, etc.ROLL NO.Roll number of the aerial
photograph.PHOTO NO.Photo number of the aerial
photograph.DATE OF FLIGHTDate which the aerial photographs
were taken (day/month/year)ELEVATIONElevation of the airplane in feet
above mean sea level during
photography.SCALEScale of the aerial photograph.
