Catastrophic Landslide in Nižná MyšĬa Village (Eastern Slovakia)

Monitoring of landslide activity in Slovakia territory using multi-temporal InSAR techniques

“…Slope deformations are the most important geohazards in Slovakia which annually cause an extensive economic damage of significant influence. About 22000 slope deformations have been registered so far, covering an area of almost 2600 km 2 . Since 2010, 639 new slope failures have been witnessed and their activation was driven mainly by the climatic anomalies such as extraordinary rainfalls.…”

“…The average slope angle ranges between 6° -7°. The height of the striking and uneven main scarp is about 5 -7 m. According to the landslide morphology and inclinometric measurements, the depth of a basal slip surface is estimated to be between 12 and 15 m. The velocity of the mass movement was assumed to reach several centimetres per year [2], making it challenging to detect by satellite radar techniques.…”
