Governance strategies and tools towards the improvement of emergency management of natural disasters in transboundary areas
Cross-border emergency management is a pressing issue, especially in contexts where economic, social, infrastructural and natural interdependencies ignore political borders. Different legislative, administrative and organisational barriers can hinder the homogeneity, coordination and effectiveness of any emergency response to a common natural hazard. The GESTI.S.CO. project (Italian acronym for "Management of emergencies and disasters without bor…
The Standing Stone of Velmaio (Varese, North-Western Lombardy, Italy). From an Erratic Boulder to a Megalith
A standing stone was found near Velmaio (Italy), on the valley floor of the Torrente Bévera. The analysis of its morphology and of traces on its surface on all faces showed that the block is not in an original position but was placed later in its vertical position. The standing stone is made of a dolomite breccia. The texture and, in particular, the lithological composition of the breccia corresponds to that of the Invorio Breccia known only from…
The 1513 Monte Crenone rock avalanche
As a contribution to the knowledge of historical rockslides, this research focuses on the historical reconstruction, field mapping, and simulation of the expansion, through numerical modelling, of the 30 September 1513 Monte Crenone rock avalanche. Earth observation in 2-D and 3-D, as well as direct in situ field mapping, allowed the detachment zone and the perimeter and volume of the accumulation to be determined. Thanks to the reconstruction of…
Schmidt hammer exposure-age dating of periglacial and glacial landforms in the Southern Swiss Alps based on R -value calibration using historical data
As a contribution to the palaeoenvironmental history reconstruction of the Alpine periglacial domain, this study focuses on the Schmidt hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) of (peri-)glacial landforms using rebound-value (R-value) calibrations for 10 stations in the Scaradra glacier forefield (north-eastern part of the Ticino Canton, Lepontine Alps) and for 13 stations in the Splügenpass region (located between Switzerland and Italy, Rhaetian Alps). …
Glacial lake outburst flood hazard assessment by satellite Earth observation in the Himalayas (Chomolhari area, Bhutan)
A case study of glacial lakes outburst flood (GLOF) hazard assessment by satellite Earth observation (EO) and numerical modelling is presented for the supraglacial and ice-contact lakes on Thangothang Chhu glacier, Chomolhari area (Bhutan). Detailed geomorphological mapping, including landslide and rock glacier inventories, as well as surface displacement determination using an interferometric SAR (InSAR) satellite, allowed a GLOF hazard assessme…
Improvements in 3-D digital mapping for geomorphological and Quaternary geological cartography
In recent decades, GIS tools have been directly applied to photo-interpretative geomorphological and geological mapping. Although these tools are powerful and effective tools in the creation of digital maps, it is often very difficult to obtain a correct recognition of the nature and boundaries of geomorphological landforms using two-dimensional images. In addition, the output typically requires some improvements, usually by means of field verifi…
