Abstract
In Mexico, numerous GIS-based applications have been used to represent and assess slope stability. However, there is not a practical and standardized landslide mapping methodology under the GIS system. This work aims to illustrate a comprehensive methodology to characterize areas that are prone to slope instability. The Rio Chiquito-Barranca del Muerto watershed on the southwestern flank of Pico de Orizaba volcano, the highest mountain in Mexico, was selected as study area. The study area has a combination of several contributing factors to landslides such as high rain fall during the wet season, rock types, high degree of weathering, and steep slopes.
