Summary Metadata for Preliminary reconnaissance inventory map data of landslides and related features, South Manitou Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

Pluvials can have dramatic impacts on the shoreline bluffs of Lake Michigan due to increases in both shallow subsurface moisture conditions related to the prolonged wet weather pattern and wave erosion as the lake level rises. These changes can result in an increased frequency and magnitude of slope failures. During the most recent pluvial, the monthly average level of Lake Michigan rose 1.9 m from a record low in January 2013 to a near record high in June-July 2020. To assess the impacts on coastal bluffs from slope failures during the recent pluvial, an inventory of landslides was completed, including slope failures active during the early part of the pluvial, on the coastal bluffs of South Manitou Island, part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan. Landslides were mapped using high-resolution orthoimagery, collected in April 2012, and high-resolution topography derived from two LiDAR data sets, the first collected in December 2014 and the second collected between November 2015 and March 2016. This data release presents geographic information system (GIS) data, provided as line and polygon shapefiles (.shp), depicting landslides and related landforms and features. Polygon map data delineates the areas of deposits, source areas, and related landforms (such as alluvial fans and colluvial aprons). Scarps (such as headscarps and minor scarps) are presented as hachured line data. An attribute file is included providing a definition of the mapped units and a brief description of the approach used in the mapping.
