In February-March 2010, several landslides affected Gimigliano, following high-intensity precipitation, and causing damages to structures and roads. In order to assess any spatial and temporal patterns of deformation, the present X-band PS data were compared with historical motion rates derived from ERS1/2 and ENVISAT satellites, and with geological and geomorphological evidences resulting from auxiliary data such as landslide databases and orthophotos referred to different dates, finally validated with recent field checks. The PSI analysis of the historical ground motion rates highlighted that the modern built-up area located downhill was already affected by surface ground deformation since 1993. A significant enlargement of the instability phenomena is detected across time. The recent PS data analysis and the in situ observations permitted us to accurately update the ground movements in the investigated site: their evidence allowed assessing a reactivation of the large deep-seated landslide zone on which the new urbanized area had built-up, with an average deformation rate of about 8 - 9 mm/yr. The higher instability phenomenon is affecting the eastern part of Gimigliano old village, with a mean displacement velocity reaching up values of -30 mm/yr, in the radar temporal acquisition of only 10 months. These outcomes can be taken into account for further hazard-reduction analysis and to support risk mitigation design within the investigated area.展开更多

This morphological high and the surrounding slopes result to be affected by numerous landslides, which cause the retreat of the escarpments surrounding the village, involving infrastructures and buildings. To better understand the behaviour of these phenomena a complete characterization, in terms of kinematics, mechanical properties and triggering conditions, of the landslides has been carried out. With this aim several boreholes, equipped both with inclinometer and piezometers, have been drilled and a number of samples have been collected and analysed. In addition to the traditional analysis, the radar satellite interferometry has been used to evaluate the evolution of the landslides and its correlation with rainfalls;furthermore a finite difference numerical modelling has been carried out to investigate the kinematics of the landslides and the deformation pattern.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a multi-temporal analysis that uses persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) method to evaluate the subsidence processes in Toluca Valley. The PSI results revealed differential movements of the ground of as much as 83 mm/year. A spatial variation of PSI results was identified with respect to previous studies using the conventional Din SAR methodology. The spatial distribution and density suggested the possibility of an expanding trend of subsidence process at north, northeast and east of the TVA, which corresponds to the region with the highest density of pumping wells for industrial and agricultural use.展开更多
