![imagery / map / schematic cross-section - (A) A 3D view of the San Cristobal landslide. (B) A 1:50,000 geological map of the landslide area, modified from [33]. Ki-mat = Matalaque Fm. P-Pi = Puno Fm. Q-pl = colluvial deposits, debris avalanche. Qp-vl-pi = pyroclastic deposits. Red line marks the topographic cross-section shown in A. (C) Cross-section of the San Cristobal landslide with estimated base groundwater conditions (blue) and materials boundaries (green) to be used for modeling and interpreted potential failure surfaces (dashed red).](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/113/529/374/814/146/822/small/b7ebfbc1af8a96b3.jpg)
