Abstract
<jats:p> Large earthflows in south-central British Columbia have exhibited regionally consistent fluctuations in their movement during the Holocene. Over the past 60 years, air photographs show that many earthflows were reactivated during the relatively wet period 1950–1985. Over the past 300 years, a fairly coherent relationship is established between periods of wetter climate, defined by the tree-ring record, and phases of slope movement, defined by the record of compression-wood development in conifers located near earthflow headscarps. On a time scale of several thousand years, stratigraphic evidence shows that many large earthflows in the region underwent s...
