Aplicación de métodos geofísicos (ERT y Microgravimetría ) para determinar la geometría de los movimientos de ladera en Loja.

Abstract

Abstract: The research describes the main results obtained through the combination of geophysical techniques. For this was registered and interpreted 2 longitudinal profiles and 1 transverse to each technique located in the movement from the slope of the kilometer 28 of the main route of Loja - Malacatos in the town of San José. The combination of the microgravity and ERT allowed to define the geometry of the movement, the position of the slide plane, zones with high water content, limits and depths between sedimentary sequences as well as the tectonic structure affecting the site, the same as in conjunction with the geology and field observations has determined the different constraints and triggers of the movement of the hillside. The main advantage of the methodology used in the present geophysical work, is that they are relatively simple, non-invasive for the terrain and economically beneficial at the time of execution when counting with the proper equipment.
