| Zusammenfassung |
| Asturias is a region in northern Spain with a temperate and humid climate. In this region,
slope instability processes are very common and often cause economic losses and,
sometimes, human victims. To prevent the geological risk involved, it is of great interest to
predict landslide spatial and temporal occurrence. Some previous investigations have shown
the importance of rainfall as a trigger factor. Despite the high incidence of these phenomena
in Asturias, there are no databases of recent and actual landslides. The BAPA Project (Base
de Datos de Argayos del Principado de Asturias - Principality of Asturias Landslide
Database) aims to create an inventory of slope instabilities which have occurred
between 1980 and 2015. The final goal is to study in detail the relationship between
rainfall and slope instabilities in Asturias, establishing precipitation thresholds and
soil moisture conditions necessary to instability triggering. This work presents the
database progress showing its structure divided into various fields that essentially
contain information related to spatial, temporal, geomorphological and damage
data. |
