Abstract

This study is concerned with landscape evolution in coastal British Columbia, which is a mountainous, humid region. Both continuous and episodic mass movements occur in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Therefore, an approach which requires 2 separate diffusion coefficients or some nonlinear formulation that accomodates creep and landsliding, may be appropriate for this region
