	note = {This doctoral dissertation involves a study of a steep basin in the Umpqua River watershed.  {\textquotedblleft}Presented here are newly applied remote sensing techniques intended to improve slope stability characterization methods at a variety of scales. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to quickly estimate soil thickness over a steep (33{\textendash}40{\textdegree}) zero-order basin in the Oregon Coast Range{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  In addition to fieldwork, laboratory studies were conducted in which {\textquotedblleft}a particle image velocimetry (PIV) tool was used to observe shear plane development and strain localization in a tabletop vertical cut slope simulator prior to slope failure{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).  The author also revised Culmann{\textquoteright}s Method, a critical height analytical formula and extended it to work in three dimensions and in unsaturated soils. },
