Inventory Of Landslides Triggered By Hurricane Matthews In Guantánamo, Cuba

Hurricane Matthew affected the eastern region of Cuba from October 4th to 5th causing large damages and numerous landslides. This research presents an inventory landslides triggered by hurricane. Visual interpretation satellite images moderate resolution Sentinel 2A instrument localized higher provided PlanetScope, as well field were main sources information. The resulting landslide was compared with other factors such slope, geology, soil deep composition maps at a scale 1:100 000. Data recorded 1-hour rain gauges 24-hour gauge also analyzed in order identify rainfall thresholds for occurrence during influence study region. A total 619 identified classified rockslide, rockfall or debris flows. found slope not important factor type rock. Most located areas green shale volcanic vulcanoclastic rocks ophiolitic complex formed ancient remnants oceanic crust. accumulate threshold estimated event between 178-407 mm/day.
