Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic affects our society and social isolation is the best way to combat this situation. The economic and social rhythm has stopped, however, natural phenomena that affect our society do not stop. Geological hazards can exacerbate the humanitarian, social and economic crisis. Our research presents a critique of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on geological research. METHODOLOGY: Official statistical data, and observations of natural phenomena made during the pandemic, and satellite image analysis support our research. RESULTS: The analysis of satellite images on the El Chaco - Lumbaquí road allows the description of geological hazards. Rock falls, occur in metamorphic rocks affected by tectonic uplift, while, landslides and subsidence occur in volcanoclastic and sedimentary lithologies eroded by the Coca river. CONCLUSIONS: The study of satellite images in geology allows monitoring and study of geological hazards.
