Engineering geology and future stability of the El Risco landslide, NW-Gran Canaria, Spain

Fast detection of ground motions on vulnerable elements using Sentinel-1 InSAR data

“…This coastal road is considered as one of the most hazardous roads in Spain regarding rockfalls (Sarro et al 2017) and is a critical connection for the town and villages of the western part of the Gran Canaria Island with the biggest centres of the north (i.e. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria); moreover, this road is heavily used by local, commercial and touristic traffic because it is more direct and larger than the mountainous roads of the centre of the island (Longpre et al 2008 ). The ADA accounts for a mean slope angle of 28 classified and it could be also classified as a landslide prone area.…”

Constraints on mechanisms for the growth of gully alcoves in Gasa crater, Mars, from two-dimensional stability assessments of rock slopes

“…Limit equilibrium methods (c.f., Abramson et al, 2001) are widely used to investigate the stability of slopes in volcanic rocks on Earth (e.g., Okubo, 2004;Apuani et al, 2005;Moon et al, 2005Moon et al, , 2009Longpré et al, 2007) and have also been applied to slopes on Mars (Schultz, 2002;Perko et al, 2006). Of particular importance to the present analysis are the previous investigations that demonstrate the applicability of limit equilibrium methods for investigating the stability and triggering mechanisms of slope failures in the alcoves of terrestrial gullies and hollows (e.g., Hanberg and Tripp, 1990;Lee et al, 1999;Özdemir and Delikanli, 2008;Crosta, 2001;Malet et al, 2005;Brideau et al, 2006Brideau et al, , 2007Ulusay et al, 2007;Poisel et al, 2009;and many others).…”
