Weighted average mass wasting susceptibility for the western USA

Dec 27, 2010 (Last modified May 15, 2011)
Description:
Derived from 1:250,000-scale USGS HUC 8 boundaries, this dataset represents the mass wasting susceptibility for the western USA. A weighted average was created for each HUC 8 watershed using approximate EMAP physical habitat substrate criteria. The values are expressed on a scale of 1 to 3, representing low to high susceptibility to mass wasting based on slope morphology.
