Abstract
Mount Rainier, potentially the most dangerous volcano in the Cascade Range, has yielded many postglacial debris flows of two main types; (1) relatively clay-rich cohesive flows, which originate as large landslides on the volcano that may not be related to volcanic activity, and (2) relatively less-clayey noncohesive flows, which originate commonly as meltwater surges due to volcanic activity. The largest flows have inundated the Puget Sound Lowland at a frequency not normally considered in long-term planning
