Variability of the groundwater sulfate concentration in fractured rock slopes: a tool to identify active unstable areas

Water chemical analysis of 100 springs from the Orco and the Tinée valleys (Western Italy and Southern France) and a 7 year groundwater chemistry monitoring of the 5 main springs were performed. All these springs drain from crystalline rock slopes. Some of these drain from currently active gravitati...
