Description: The Slope Stability Reference Guide for National Forests in the United States covers stability of both soil and rock slopes. It was written by 23 authors, who are present or former Forest Service engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers and geomorphologists, as an attempt to capture the technical advancements made by the Forest Service over the past 25 years in predicting and analyzing slope behavior in mountainous terrain.
