Abstract
The Argentina Road 7 that crosses the Andes Cordillera within the Mendoza province to connect Santiago de Chile and Buenos Aires is particularly affected by natural hazards. In order to produce landslide susceptibility maps, we aim to detect large deep seated instabilities by applying small baseline interferometric SAR processing. Although topographical- and atmospheric-related trends were not totally removed, 3 unstable zones were emphasized. Further studies focused along shores of the Potrerillos’ dam reservoir highlighted 2 large instabilities with mean velocities up to about 2 cm/year that may affect the N7.
