Title : Exhaustion and steady state models for predicting landslide hazards in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Abstract
The temporal distribution of landslides can be evaluated by steady-state and exhaustion models. The probability of landsliding remains constant through time in the steady-state model but the probability decreases in the exhaustion model as more slopes fail. Rock sliding down bedding surfaces on overdip slopes exhausts hazardous sites to leave stable dip-slope landforms in Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The distribution of rock slides in this area can be better explained by the exhaustion model than by the steady-state model.
