Abstract
The Earth Science Sector of Natural Resources Canada, through its Geoscience for Public Safety Program, has initiated the development of national technical guidelines and best practices related to landslides. With this initiative, Canada, as a world leader in the field, will actively contribute to reduce losses from landslides, with an aim to contribute to sustainable development. The guidelines are developed in collaboration with the Canadian Geotechnical Society and its Landslides Committee, as well as landslide experts from all regions in Canada. The guidelines and best practices will provide Canadian geo-professionals, geoscientists, and engineers with a document that will be the state-of-the-art related to the science and applied science of landslides and associated loss reduction. It will be compiled from contributions by many of this country’s landslide specialists. The document will provide a comprehensive summary of key landslide topics, including identification, mapping, investigation, analysis, hazard and risk assessment, and mitigation.
