In this study, remote sensing interpretation, field investigations, and Small Baseline Subset Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SBAS-InSAR) technologies have been employed. Along a 17 km stretch of the Jinsha River, specifically in the Xiongba-Sela segment, 16 large-scale ancient landslides were identified, 9 of which are currently undergoing creeping deforma-tion. Notably, the Sela and Xiongba ancient landslides exhibit significant deformation, with a maxi-mum deformation rate of -192 mm/yr, indicating a high level of sliding activity. The volume of the Sela ancient landslide is estimated to be 1.8 × 108 to 4.5 × 108 m3, and characterized by extensive fissures and long-term creeping deformation. The SBAS-InSAR results revealed significant spatial variations in the deformation of the Sela ancient landslide, generally displaying two secondary zones of intense deforma-tion, and landslide deformation exhibits nonlinear behavior with time. Between January 2016 and Feb-ruary 2022, Zone Ⅲ1 on the southwest side of the Sela ancient landslide, experienced a maximum cu-mulative deformation of -857 mm, with a maximum deformation rate of -108 mm/yr. Zone Ⅲ2, on the northeast side of the Sela ancient landslide, the maximum cumulative deformation was -456 mm, with a maximum deformation rate of -74 mm/yr; among these, the H2 and H4 secondary bodies on the south side of Ⅲ1 are in the accelerative deformation stage and at the Warn warning level. We propose that the large-scale flood and debris flow disasters triggered by the Baige landslide-dammed lake-dam bro-ken disaster chain in Tibetan Plateau during October and November 2018 caused severe erosion at the foot of downstream slopes. This far-field triggering effect accelerated the creep of the downstream an-cient landslides. Consequently, the deformation rate of Zone Ⅲ2 of the Sela ancient landslide increased by 6 to 8 times, exhibiting traction-type style reactivation. This heightened activity raises concerns about the potential for large-scale or overall reactivation of the landslide, posing a risk of damming the Jinsha River and initiating a dam-break disaster chain. Our research on the reactivation characteris-tics and mechanisms of large ancient landslides in high deep-cut valleys provides valuable guidance for geological hazard investigation and risk prevention.
