Employing Electron Microscopy Integrated with X-ray Spectroscopy for Kuntawa Landslide Assessment; a Geomorphological Approach

Author(s):

Dikedi PN

This work centres on the assessment of an enigmatic 2003 Kuntawa landslide event which resulted to the loss of seven lives and a truck. A Phenom ProX Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (at 3500x) is employed: the device is integrated with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Secondary Electron Detectors (SED), Back Scatter Electron Detectors (BSED) and Particlemetric software for Elemental identification, chemical topography, morphology, image
contrast and particle size determination. Elemental composition at the landslide site was generated from the EDS: oxygen (O), Silicon (Si), Bromine (Br), iron (Fe), Carbon (C) and Aluminium (Al). O and C had the highest and lowest concentration of elemental compositions of 68.5% at 3.75... view more»
