Background
The Aosta Valley region presents a landscape almost totally occupied by mountain. In this context, a number of meaningful landslides is present, which vary from rock falls to deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DsGSD), passing for the complex landslides. The study of these phenomena, finalized to guarantee suitable standard of safety and to facilitate a compatible development, results a fundamental necessity for this territory.
Purpose
The present study is organized in two distinct phases: i) development of a methodology based on the SAR data employment for the analysis of the strength of activity of the DsGSD; ii) analysis of the regional monitoring network aimed to the individuation of criticalities and strength for each monitored phenomena.
Methods
The study of the DsGSD is based on a combined analysis of SAR data, morphological and geo-structural analysis.
The study of the monitoring network is based on the collection and the revision of all the bibliographic material together with the analysis and processing of the time series of ground deformation, relative to the monitoring network of each landslide.
