This paper explains the procedure for generation of a landslide risk index map at national level in Cuba, using semi-quantitative model with ten indicator maps and cell size 90 × m. The was designed implemented spatial multi-criteria evaluation techniques GIS system. Each processed, analysed standardised according to its contribution hazard vulnerability. indicators were weighted direct, pairwise comparison rank-ordering weighting methods, weights combined obtain final map. results per...
Abstract The southeastern tip of Cuba Island is limited to the south by N‐Caribbean boundary. By revisiting impressive sequences coastal terraces this region, we decipher Quaternary deformation pattern plate We present a detailed mapping uplifted over hundred kilometers coastline, and U/Th dating. At Punta de Maisí, shows (a) faster uplift close transform boundary (b) northward propagation folding produced convergence Bahamas platform toward Caribbean plate. Along southern coast sequence...
Abstract Coastal boulder deposits (CBDs), named huracanolitos in Cuba, found along rocky shores, result from storms, tropical cyclones or tsunamis. Despite being important indicators for coastal hazard assessment, determining the mode of emplacement CBDs (storm/hurricane tsunami) is not easy. We present, first time English, data about shores Cuban Archipelago. More specifically, we focused on a CBD, that is, to our knowledge, largest one ever described Cuba Island. Located low‐lying coral...
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements at episodic sites or continuously operating stations have been used in most actively deforming regions to determine strain rates, fault slip and contribute assessing regional seismic hazard. However, the central part of northern Caribbean plate boundary Cuba has so far exempt from sufficient GNSS data study these classic issues kinematics associated earthquake Here, we describe first position-velocity solution for its close surroundings,...
Abstract An inventory of landslides triggered by Hurricane Matthew (4–5 October 2016) through the eastern region Cuba was carried out using Sentinel 2A satellite images. The compared with slope map generated from digital elevation model at 25 m per pixel and geological 1: 100 000 scale. precipitation data 1-hour rain gauge records four stations Cuban Institute Meteorology (INSMET) 24-hour six National Hydraulic Resources (INRH) were processed analysed during this event. In total, 237...
Low breast cancer screening rates are often found among ethnic minority groups and those born outside the host country. This is of particular concern for high-risk groups, who should benefit from ongoing trials aimed at optimizing strategies breast, as well ovarian cancer. Both these issues germane Jewish women in Europe. We systematically review literature concerning early detection practices (BCEDP) women, examine European surveillance studies and/or that had imaging protocol, order to...
AbstractCoastal boulders or mega-clasts, named huracanolitos in Cuba, are found along many rocky shores. They result from storms/hurricanes tsunamis, but despite being potentially important indicators for hazard assessment, their mode of emplacement is typically unknown. We studied a coastal boulder that probably the largest one ever described on Cuba Island. Located low-lying coral reef terrace SE Cuban shore, reefal limestone emplaced seaward ruins Bucanero resort. The latter was built...
