Steep glacial and paraglacial landscapes often exhibit evidence of gravitationally-driven slope deformation. In recently deglaciated coastal environments, catastrophic failures of these bedrock instabilities as rapid landslides have the potential to generate tsunamis that may pose hazards for communities, infrastructure, mariners, and important natural and cultural resources. We present a first inventory of manually mapped bedrock instabilities in western Prince William Sound and nearby locations in the Chugach Mountains. Slope instabilities included in this inventory are defined as large areas (> 0.01 km2) that exhibit evidence of slope deformation, including scarps, tension cracks, and signs of recent smaller-scale...
