Abstract

Majority of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region is a mountainous area with relief differences that attain up to 1000 m, and locally more. The presence of dense net of rivers, streams and large valleys with diverse lithologies have initiated hundreds of mass movements of different types and sizes, active and dormant. In the current study, we have selected different landslides from different parts of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. In all selected cases, the landslides have shifted the facing rivers, streams or valleys. The slid masses are of hard and thick carbonates and/or claystones; however, clastic rocks are encountered too. At each studied landslide, we have presented the satellite image, detailed description of the geology, size of the involved area, cause of the slide, marking the original trace of the shifted river, stream or valley; if still exists. We have performed field work for some of them and presented more detailed data and field photos. Moreover, we have applied Landslide Possibility Index (LPI) at each case to indicate the possibility of re-activation or otherwise.

通过遥感和野外数据表明激活大块和旧块滑坡的可能性以及风险估算，伊拉克伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区的例子

摘要

伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区的大部分地区为山区，起伏差异最大可达1000 m，局部甚至更多。密密麻麻的河流，溪流和大河谷网具有不同的岩性，引发了数百起活跃和休眠的不同类型和大小的大规模运动。在当前的研究中，我们从伊拉克库尔德地区的不同地区选择了不同的滑坡。在所有选定的情况下，滑坡都使面临的河流，溪流或山谷移动了。滑动块是硬的和厚的碳酸盐和/或粘土岩。但是，也遇到碎屑岩。在每个研究的滑坡上，我们都提供了卫星图像，详细的地质描述，所涉区域的大小，滑坡的成因，标出了河流，溪流或山谷移动的原始轨迹；如果仍然存在。我们已经为其中一些进行了实地工作，并提供了更详细的数据和实地照片。此外，我们在每种情况下都应用了滑坡可能性指数（LPI）来表示重新激活或其他方式的可能性。
