Abstract

Large rockslope deformations are characterized by distinctive geomorphic signatures such as up-facing ridges, grabens, open cracks, etc. which extend along large sections of valley flanks. They often present relatively low displacement rates (up to tens of mm/y). Among the different factors that condition their development, local relief, structural conditions, rock mechanic behavior, and time are the key factors. In Norway, large scale rockslope deformation are widely represented. In this work we give an overview of the conditioning factors of four unstable slopes in the Sogn og Fjordane county, and their current degree of activity by using field mapping, remote sensing and different monitoring techniques such as dGPS and InSAR.
