Nineteen percent of the global population may face a high probability subsidence
This work is focused on deformation activity mapping and monitoring using Sentinel-1 (S-1) data the DInSAR (Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique. The main goal to present a procedure periodically update assess geohazard (volcanic activity, landslides ground-subsidence) of given area by exploiting wide coverage high coherence temporal sampling (revisit time up six days) provided S-1 satellites. products are two updatable maps: map active areas map. These maps...
In recent years, there was an increasing number of studies focusing on rockfalls due to their impacts social and sustainable development. This work carries out a three-dimensional (3D) simulation at cultural heritage site nearby the village Cortes de Pallás (Valencian Community, East Spain). The is based data collected previously, during emergency declaration occurrence considerable rockfall (7980 m3) southern bank reservoir, 6 April 2015. hydroelectric power plant damaged, main access road...
In this paper a methodology is proposed to elaborate landslide activity maps through the use of PS (Persistent Scatterer) data. This illustrated case study Tramuntana Range in island Majorca (Spain), where ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) images have been processed Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) technique during period 2007–2010. The map provides, for every monitored landslide, an assessment visibility according relief, land use, and satellite acquisition parameters....
The analysis of remote sensing data to assess geohazards is being improved by web-based platforms and collaborative projects, such as the Geohazard Exploitation Platform (GEP) European Space Agency (ESA). This paper presents evaluation a surface velocity map that generated this platform. was produced through an unsupervised Multi-temporal InSAR (MTI) applying Parallel-SBAS (P-SBAS) algorithm 25 ENVISAT satellite images from South Spain were acquired between 2003 2008. carried out using...
Abstract Landslide monitoring is a mandatory step in landslide risk assessment. It requires collecting data on conditions (e.g., areal extent, kinematics, surface topography, hydrogeometeorological parameters, and failure surfaces) from different time periods at scales, site-specific to local, regional, national, assess activity. In this analysis, we collected information techniques 17 members of the Earth Observation Geohazards Expert Group (from EuroGeoSurveys) deployed between 2005 2021....
Rockfalls are an ever-present possibility in the mountainous context of Tramuntana Region (Mallorca, Spain). Recent events have shown high potential for direct and indirect impact on safety people economic activities, lasting weeks or even months. In present study, we start from a probabilistic assessment rockfall hazard (spatial propensity temporal recurrence), based detailed historical record occurrences modelling, which is subsequently superimposed three exposure scenarios social...
Landslides in reservoir contexts are a well-recognised hazard that may lead to dangerous situations regarding infrastructures and people’s safety. Satellite-based radar interferometry is proving be reliable method monitor the activity of landslides such contexts. Here, we present DInSAR (Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) analysis Sentinel-1 images exemplifies usefulness technique recognize Rules Reservoir (Southern Spain). The integration results with comprehensive...
In the last few years, several advances have been made in use of radar images to detect, map and monitor ground deformations. DInSAR (Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry) A-DInSAR/PSI (Advanced DInSAR/Persistent Scatterers technologies successfully applied study deformation phenomena induced by, for example, active tectonics, volcanic activity, water exploitation, mining, landslides, both at local regional scales. this paper, existing European Space Agency (ESA) archives...
An example of the combined use UAV photogrammetry and rockfall numerical simulation is described. A case fragmental occurred on 17 November 2018 in Cárcavos, a site located Spanish municipality Ayna (Albacete). The event caused great social alarm as some infrastructure was affected. By using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry, high-resolution 3D model has been generated from point cloud data, distribution size fragmented rocks (more than 600 boulders) determined. analysis performed...
Coastal regions in Southwest Europe have experienced major interventions and transformations of the territory with unprecedented urban development, primarily related to growing tourism activity. The coast is place where marine terrestrial processes converge, making it highly vulnerable effects climate change. However, lack information on frequency these extreme weather events their impacts hampers an accurate analysis consequences global This paper provides a detailed (EWE) that affected...
Modelling rockfall phenomena is complex and requires various inputs, including an accurate location of the source areas. Source areas are controlled by geomorphological, geological, or other geo-environmental factors may largely influence results modelling. In Canary Islands, rockfalls extremely common pose a major threat to society, costing lives, disrupting infrastructure, destroying livelihoods. 2011, volcanic event on island El Hierro triggered numerous that affected strategic...
A recent article using data from the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) to assess vulnerability of Spanish coastline ground movements was published in October 2024 (López-Vinielles et al., 2024). The study, funded by “Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia - Financiado por la Unión Europea Next Generation EU” programme and conducted within framework RISKCOAST project (Ref. SOE3/P4/E0868), EGMS RASTOOL (Grant Agreement No....
Rockfall modelling in Caminito del Rey (Málaga, Spain) represents a scientific and technical challenge due to the high geomorphological complexity of environment, characterized by vertical cliffs, numerous overhangs, complex geometries. In this context, within one Malaga’s most visited tourist attractions (more than 300,000 people per year), comprehensive study was required address challenges across all phases, from detailed characterization inventory trajectory modelling....
Abstract Ground subsidence in the southeastern border of Granada Basin (SE Spain) has been studied using remote sensing techniques. Over last decades, region experienced a huge urban expansion, which caused substantial increase water supply requirements. Water needs are exclusively met by groundwater means numerous pumping wells, exploit confined detrital aquifer alluvial fan deposits with heterogeneous facies distribution. A general piezometric level decline (up to 50 m) recorded during...
ABSTRACT The island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) is characterized by a large variability volcanic rocks reflecting its evolution. geological map provided Geological Survey Spain at 1:25.000 scale shows more than 109 different lithologies and it too complex for environmental engineering purposes. This work presents simplified geotechnical with small number classes grouping up units similar behaviours. were grouped using about 350 rock samples, collected in the seven major islands...
