Carbonile

Since the 1980s the Carbonile area close to Florence, has been subject to several landslides, which affected both crops and buildings. In this image Permanent Scatterer (PS) measured displacement rates and activity status of landslides are highlighted over the area. Red indicates still active landslides (i.e. having moved in the last few years, PS in these areas showing peaks of deformation, in red). Grey indicates dormant landslides that according to geological and geophysical evidence (PS) moved in less recent times (e.g the last two years within a decade). Green highlights inactive landslides (no longer moving, as confirmed also by PS which show almost no movement within a decade - in green). PS distribution and velocity enables areas at risk to be highlighted.
