Hydrography and geomorphology of Antananarivo High City (Madagascar)

Abstract: The city of Antananarivo is located in the central highlands of Madagascar, and is the largest urban center of the island. Considering the frequent heavy cyclonic rains frequently affecting the area, its geomorphological context is particularly prone to geo-hydrological hazards, such as landslides and flash floods, as recently proved during the disastrous events of the winters of 2015 and 2018. Field data and high-resolution remote sensing data interpretation (DEMs and satellite orthophotos) were combined in o… Show more

“…The same applies to the publications about the High City of Antananarivo, which benefited from the cooperation between experts from different countries in the framework of the "Project for Enrollment of the High City of Antananarivo in the UNESCO World Heritage Site" of the UNESCO chair on Prevention and Sustainable Management of Geo-Hydrological Hazards [39,40,109]. In Latin America and the Caribbean, international cooperation under the framework of the International Consortium on Landslides and the International Programme on Landslides C101-1 resulted in the already mentioned case studies in the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu [110][111][112][113], involving Peruvian, Japanese, Czechoslovakian, and Italian experts [114].…”

“…Those early works took advantage of GIS applications to integrate geological and geomorphological information, aiming to investigate the mechanisms and causative factors of landslides in the Tharos, Capo San Marco, and San Giovanni di Sinis areas (Sardinia, Italy) that could represent risks to the preservation of Roman and Phoenician heritage sites. This fundamental role of the geomorphological approach is also exemplified by the geomorphological investigations by Frodella et al [39] in the High City of Antananarivo (Madagascar), a UNESCO WHL candidate site, which provided information for subsequent research deploying a multidisciplinary approach [40].…”

“…Hydrology and hydrogeology signi cantly affect landslide formation in the hilly areas (Kayastha et al, 2012). Many studies have looked at the importance and complexity of hydrogeology in landslide susceptibility evaluations (Frodella et al, 2021;Sujatha, 2021). The hydrogeology map of Son La province was obtained on a scale of 50,000 in 2020 from the Vietnamese Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.…”
