Abstract
The rate of permafrost thaw hastened catastrophically. In recent decades, warming temperatures and increased precipitation in western Canada have led to a significant increase in mountain landslides. But permafrost and glaciers are the "glue" that holds high mountain slopes together, and when gradual warming and extreme weather events contribute to rapid permafrost thaw and the thinning of glaciers, slope failures can happen suddenly.
