Stage 2 - Preparation of input data in ascii format

Description

Stage 3 - Simulación de trayectorias mediante el código STONE (Guzzetti et al., 2002). El software utiliza tecnología SIG para generar resultados ráster 2D-3D.

Description

This map represents the areas with higher rockfall susceptibility. The data was derived from terrain and geological information. The input DEM was generated by the National Geographic Institute at a 5m x 5m resolution. According to the available National Geological Continuous Map of Spain (GEODE) from IGME (www.igme.es), lithological units were differentiated and their coefficients were obtained.
