Technical Reports

Geologic evaluation and hazard potential of liquefaction-induced landslides along the Wasatch Front, Utah, by Kimm M. Harty and Mike Lowe, 40 p., 16 pl., ISBN 1-55791-687-X, 2003, SS-104 $12.95
Much of the Wasatch Front of northern Utah is underlain by saturated sandy sediments that are prone to liquefaction during moderate and large earthquakes. Thirteen liquefaction-induced landslides have been identified along the Wasatch Front by previous researchers, but development has proceeded in these areas with little consideration of the hazards from these landslides. This investigation assesses the hazard these features pose by determining if they are indeed liquefaction-induced landslides, and determines their potential for movement during future earthquakes.

Characteristics, timing, and hazard potential of liquefaction-induced landsliding in the Farmington Siding landslide complex, Davis County, Utah, by Michael D. Hylland and Mike Lowe, 38 p., 8/98 $8.25 SS-95
This group of landslides shows three, possibly four, landslide events during late Pleistocene and Holocene time, likely due to high levels of the Great Salt Lake and ground water. This study defines the boundaries, outlines the hazards, and includes recommendations for land-use planning.
