Abstract

In this study, two landslide sites (Kadifekale-İzmir and Zeytinli Tepe-Söke, Turkey) were investigated by resistivity, self-potential, seismic refraction and electromagnetic-VLF methods. Resistivity data were collected with multi-electrode measuring system, and then processed by 2-D inversion technique. Also, the seismic data from Kadifekale landslide area were processed by using the refraction tomography method. After all processing, the geometry and boundary of the landslides, the characterizations of slipped mass and the thickness of disturbed and undisturbed zones were clearly determined.
