The Relationship between InSAR Coseismic Deformation and Earthquake-Induced Landslides Associated with the 2017 Mw 3.9 Ischia (Italy) Earthquake
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Geological Setting
3. Methods
3.1. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) Data and Analysis
3.2. Landslide Modeling Approach
3.3. Modeling Procedure
- (a)
- normalize the Dn values at each grid cell by calculating the ratio between Dn and the computed maximum displacement (Dn_max) from Equation (3) for the Ischia earthquake, i.e., Dn/Dn_max;
- (b)
- group the Dn/Dn_max values into sequential intervals, e.g., the first interval contains Dn/Dn_max values ranging between 0 and 0.1, the second interval between 0.1 and 0.2, and so on;
- (c)
- compute for each interval the proportion of grid cells falling on areas affected by earthquake-induced landslides in the past. Such values correspond to the probability of landslide failure associated with each Dn/Dn_max interval, i.e., P(f);
- (d)
- plot the obtained P(f) values versus the mean Dn/Dn_max of each interval and fit with a Weibull distribution curve [20,46] (Equation (5)):
- (e)
- associate the likelihood of landslide failure P(f) to each grid cell using Equation (5).
