One of the main constraints in assessing shallow landslide hazards through physically based models is need to characterize geotechnical parameters involved materials. Indeed, quantity and quality input data are closely related reliability results every model used, therefore acquisition a critical time-consuming step research activity. In this perspective, we reviewed all official certificates t...

Many commonly used shallow seismic sources are unacceptable for hazardous waste site investigations because they risk exhumation of contaminants in the soil, they add contaminants (e.g. lead) which are not allowed by regulations, or they add new migration paths for contaminants. Furthermore, recently developed high frequency vibrators for shallow investigations could be more effective at some s...

Thrust ridges are accretionary structures often associated with local uplift along splay faults and cold seep activity. We study the influence of a NS-trending thrust ridge system on transition between prism continental framework (shelf break) offshore Maule Region (central Chile at 35°–36°S) by examining its 2-D 3-D seismic velocity structure. The experiment comprises five densely spaced refra...

Ground penetrating radar (commonly called GPR) is a high resolution electromagnetic technique that is designed primarily to investigate the shallow subsurface of the earth, building materials, and roads and bridges. GPR has been developed over the past thirty years for shallow, high resolution investigations of the subsurface. GPR is a time-depen­ dent geophysical technique that can provide a 3...
