A ground instabilities inventory between Tetouan and Jebha (Morocco): mapping, description and analysis

The article delves into the critical issue of ground instabilities, a widespread global disaster often overlooked due to its association with external factors like rainfall or earthquakes. It emphasizes the significance of these instabilities in infrastructure development and environmental changes. The Rif chain in Morocco, particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, serves as a case study. The authors present an innovative inventory of ground instabilities using simple, effective methods and free access data. This inventory, the first step in a larger study, aims to identify key parameters leading to instabilities. The theoretical and practical frameworks of inventories are discussed, highlighting the evolution from conventional methods to advanced remote sensing techniques. The article underscores the need for accurate and comprehensive data to understand predispositions and triggering factors, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the field.
