Abstract
The glaciolacustrine deposits along the N. W. shore of Lake Superior, even though soft and often highly sensitive, are generally not prone to excessive slope stability problems. However, under certain geological conditions, human activities, such as deforestation, may lead to more extensive sliding. The associated risk to engineering structures and human life is moderate as long as the extent of human activities in the area remains limited.
