Hazardous exogenous geological processes and seismic hazard of the Surkhob river basin
The article assesses the susceptibility of the mountain slopes of the Surkhob river valley to the formation of mass displacements on the slopes under seismic impacts. Using modern GIS technologies, it is shown that almost the entire populated and developed territory of the Surkhob river basin is at risk of landslides, mudflows and strong earthquakes. Based on the results of the assessment, a map of the susceptibility of slopes to landslides was constructed, on which the susceptibility varies from medium to high, with the dominance of zones with high susceptibility. Based on the assessment, the necessity of taking measures to reduce the risk of earthquakes and secondary exogenous phenomena is shown.
