Abstract
A pilot project was initiated in the Humber Valley, and on the northeast Avalon Peninsula to identify and map areas at risk from geological hazards, including landslides, avalanches, rockfalls, and coastal and river flooding. The first phase of the project was to identify criteria for risk assessment, using air-photos, historical research and site visits. A slope model generated from digital elevation data was useful in identifying areas of steep slope. Preliminary mapping will be supplemented by field verification, and the production of hazard maps.
