The Rif Mountains extend along the northern coast of Africa forming the south western-end of the Betic-Rif-Tell orogen. The Koudiet es Sbaa landslide develops along the northern slope of the Tisiren thrust front, approximately 50km east of Chefchauen. It attains 6690m in length and covers an area of 5.02km 2. It shows characteristics of a deep-seated rotational landslide in the upper sectors of the slope, splitting in two fronts along the drainage divide of the Audour and Bouhia rivers. Several lakes and poorly drained areas, in association with reverse slope morphology, allow the reconstruction of the different deformation phases by dating lake sediments. In this work we present the results from the analysis of a road cut located downslope...
