- Abstract
- A previously unrecognised complex of deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSD) extends 20 km
along upper Venosta Valley in the eastern Alps, Italy. Mt. Watles exhibits spectacular features indicative of
DSGSDs including double ridges, trenches, and counterscarps. The slope deformation occurs along a nappe
boundary now corresponding to the Schlinig normal fault, is also conditioned by recent faults marked by
shallow earthquakes, and shows glacial/paraglacial controls on slope evolution.
The Mt. Watles DSGSD is a complex, deep-seated, compound slide along a basal shear zone, involving the
Schlinig fault. Gravitational reactivation of NE-trending fractures formed gravitational scarps, counterscarps,
and half-grabens in the upper slope, whereas the lower part of the slope partially collapsed. Although our
work indicates the importance of the Schlinig fault and recent fracturing on slope failure, the trigger seems to
be postglacial debuttressing of the valley walls. Radiocarbon dating of peat deposits within one of the major
counterscarps indicates that slope deformation started during the Lateglacial period and continued during
the Holocene in several slope sectors. (literal)
