Satellite radar interferometry and reflection seismic: An integrated geophysical study on the great Ancona landslides

The Great Ancona Landslide is located in the Italian Adriatic coast, immediately westward of the harbour city of Ancona and interests an area of about 3.5 km2, with a landslide front of about 2 km. (Figure IA). It is an ancient landslide, its occurrence being known since 1700. In recent times, the most severe event took place on December 13th 1982, when a densely built section of the city was involved in the eastern part of the landslide.
