Description

The goal of this research is to determine areas with a high risk of slope failure in the Greater Mankato Area using Geographic Information System (GIS). Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and soil type information for Mankato region are used as main data sources. The relationship between soil type and slope is also studied. The results of this study can be used for mapping where to place roads and homes so that they are not at risk of being impacted by a slope failure.
