QUESADA ROMAN, Adolfo    BARRANTES CASTILLO, Gustavo. Hillside coseismic processes of the Cinchona earthquake (Costa Rica) January 8, 2009 (M_s= 6,2). []. , 25, 1, pp.217-232. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v25n1.52590.

The Cinchona earthquake of January 8, 2009, caused great physical impacts such as the destruction of the public and private infrastructure, including social, and left a total of 2,326 persons displaced, 91 injured, 7 missing, and 25 dead. Based on aerial photographs and the implementation of high resolution LiDAR, after the earthquake, 1,900 hillside processes were classified based on the Works of Alcántara- Ayala (2000), Cruden and Varnes (1996) and Highland y Bobrowsky (2008). The importance of this work for Costa Rica lies in the fact that it is the first time the international classification of hillside processes of the WP/WLI established in 1990 was used.
