- Description
- Abstract Two landslides in the Tully Valley of central New York are moving slowly toward their respective streams (Rainbow Creek and Rattlesnake Gulf). Data on soil displacement (landslide movement), groundwater levels in both landslide areas, and precipitation on the Tully Valley floor were collected from June 2006 through June 2008. Analyses of the data indicate the displacement of shallow, weathered soils in upslope areas is related to heavy rainstorms and the associated rise in groundwater levels above the unweathered soil layer, whereas shallow-soil displacement on the lower, steepest parts of these landslide areas is due to stream-generated erosion of the landslide toe and to decreased stability of the soil through saturation by groundwater. The upslope progression of soil displacement results in slope failure, which in turn undermines small landmasses in the shallow zone and causes further slope failure.
