Different kinds of geophysical methods were applied to three case .studies in the northern Tien Shan: two rock avalanches near Bielogorka (50 km Southwest of Bishkek), a complex debris slump in the Suusarnyr valley (130 km Southwest of Bishkek) and a rock avalanche near Ananevo. The two latter sites are very close to the fault. On the Ananevo rock avalanche, an intensive field study combined refraction seismics and a seismological experiment in order to define amplification effects,of the ground motions in the site. We compare also the experimental study with 2D Finite-Element modelling of the ground motion in the Ananevo landslide site.
