Thesis (M.E.S.)--Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada), 2000.

As a critical foundation to research described in the latter half of the thesis, this paper includes a lengthy, yet necessary, review of literature which is relevant to coastal slope failures. The nature, contributory factors, hazards and risks of coastal bluff failures are discussed, in addition to their occurrence within a global, and local context. Particular attention is given to the shorelines of the Great Lakes and Lake Erie. The literature review then examines methods of mitigating the bluff hazards and risks, including the use and benefits of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and hazard zone mapping.

520 $a As a critical foundation to research described in the latter half of the thesis, this paper includes a lengthy, yet necessary, review of literature which is relevant to coastal slope failures. The nature, contributory factors, hazards and risks of coastal bluff failures are discussed, in addition to their occurrence within a global, and local context.

The literature review then examines methods of mitigating the bluff hazards and risks, including the use and benefits of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and hazard zone mapping.
520 $a The focus of the paper is a description of GIS research recently conducted on the bluffs which line Erie's northern shore between Port Burwell and Long Point, Ontario, Canada. The study utilizes a GIS to analyse factors which contribute to the bluff failures, and ultimately, to estimate the variance in risk to these shoreline failures. Emphasis is placed upon the methods used to conduct this research, but a discussion of exploratory analysis, results, recommendations, and conclusions is also provided. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
