Figure 5. Moving areas above the 10 mm year–1 threshold. The black contours represent the borders of VdA municipalities. The hillshade is derived from a 10 m resolution DEM of VdA. 1) Bosmatto landslide; 2) Allesaz landslide; 3) Ayas municipality; 4) Saint Rhémy En Bosses municipality. The data are overlaid on a ESRI World Imagery map

Figure 6. Moving areas falling within the contour of already mapped landslides. The Sentinel-1-derived PS points are represented as triangles with downward orientation if the orbit is descending, upward if it is ascending. Red and blue contours represent moving areas in descending and ascending orbits, respectively. (a) Bosmatto landslide; (b) Allesaz landslides; (c) average time series of deformation for the sectors indicated by yellow rectangles

Figure 8. Moving areas falling outside the contours of already mapped landslides. The Sentinel-1-derived PS points are represented as triangles with downward orientation if the orbit is descending, upward if it is ascending. Red and blue contours represent moving areas in descending and ascending orbits, respectively. The white dashed lines represent possible landslide crowns traced on the basis of terrain morphology and PS data. Two examples from the Ayas (a) and Saint Rhémy En Bosses (b) municipalities are reported. (c) average time series of deformation for the sectors indicated by yellow rectangles
