Inventory of Rock Slope Deformations Affecting Folded Sedimentary Layers in Moderate Relief Context: The Case of the Livingstone Range Anticlinorium, AB, Canada

2015 
This contribution investigates the distribution of rock slope deformations (RSD) and their relationships with tectonic structures, lithological and topographic contexts. This is performed in a moderate relief context (1,100–2,500 masl.) affected by thin-skin tectonic. The proposed inventory, along the Livingstone range anticlinorium (LRA), contains 160 gravitational events that are spatially clustered in four areas. The thrust-folds properties (density, geometry and lithology) and the local relief appear to primary influence the development of RSD in this context.
