Abstract

Landslide inventory maps are the first and main information level in studies of reactivation of previous landslides and susceptibility, hazard and risk maps of future landslides. Due to its geographical location and tectonic setting, the Dominican Republic is exposed to several geological risks, among which landslides stand out. In this study, we present a landslide inventory elaborated in three selected zones with particular geographical, lithological, tectonic and climatic characteristics: Puerto Plata, Santiago de los Caballeros and Jarabacoa. A total of 6085 landslides have been recorded (56% in S, 29% in P and 15% in J), which have been classified according to their geometry, propagation mechanism, affected material, thickness and activity. The detected factors that control the distribution and type of gravitational deposits are lithology and geologic structure, as well as rainfall and active faulting along the Camú, Septentrional and Bonao-La Guácara fault zones.
