Landslide susceptibility in the Arieş Middle Basin – focus on Roşia Montană mining area<br />
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper assesses landslide susceptibility in the Arieş middle basin, with focus on the Roşia Montană mining perimeter. The study uses the existing Romanian methodology for landslide susceptibility mapping. The results illustrate the risk level of landslide occurrence: most of the Arieş basin is characterized by insignificant and low values of landslide susceptibility, while medium values are found in the mining perimeters. The Roşia Montană mining perimeter presents disequilibria at morphodynamic level especially in the area of the mining facilities, enhancing the occurrence of landslides risk, with ignificant impacts on the regional safety and security of mining works.
