Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the acquisition and processing up to the depth migrated section of an SH-wave reflection seismic profile. This experience is conducted on a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation located in the Northern Apennines in Italy. The SH-wave depth-migrated image in the investigated area provides a detailed description of the small reactivation slip surfaces delineating minor landslides at shallow depths, which are responsible for the major damages observed. These results are integrated with a recently acquired P-wave seismic reflection profile investigating the same slope and delineating the highly deformed layer at depth, liable for the deep-seated gravitational slope deformation. The combined use of P-waves and SH-waves allows to gain a deeper knowledge of the landslide internal setting that is necessary to mitigate the risk associated with the mass movement.
