Indoor radon measurements in Calabria (Southern Italy)
Radon gas from the ground is the main source of indoor concentrations in buildings, regardless of construction characteristics. According to Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM, EU Member States must establish national reference levels for indoor radon concentrations in workplaces and draw up a National Radon Plan. In Calabria (Southern Italy), maps of indoor measurements at regional scale are not available. A set of 1434 average annual measurement…
Geomorphic effects caused by heavy rainfall in the Corigliano-Rossano area (NE Calabria, Italy) on 12 August 2015
The surroundings of Corigliano and Rossano (NE Calabria) were damaged by a short-lasting and localized rainstorm on 12 August 2015, when more than 230 mm of rain in sixteen hours caused damage exceeding 100 million euros. In the Map, shallow landslides triggered by the event are shown at 1:50,000 scale, together with areas affected by soil erosion and flooding, and most damaged sites; historical landslides are also mapped. The main slope-stabilit…
Landslide inventory and main geomorphological features affecting slope stability in the Picentino river basin (Campania, southern Italy)
The landslide inventory of the Picentino basin was realized at 1:25,000, with focus on main geomorphological features affecting slope stability. It is based on different sets of air-photos (scales 1:33,000–1:18,000, dated up to 1998), and on field surveys. Among shallow landslides, channelized debris flows strongly prevail, originated as debris slides on moderately steep slopes. Further sectors are affected by deeper slope movements of greater ex…
Geomorphic effects caused by heavy rainfall in southern Calabria (Italy) on 30 October–1 November 2015
A severe rainfall event occurred in southern Calabria between 29 October and 2 November 2015, causing two deaths and serious damage to transport infrastructure. Widespread slope erosion and thousands of shallow landslides were triggered on the slopes, combined with flooding and transport of debris along the streams. Rains recorded by the regional gauge network and the national radar monitoring system were analysed by means of Kriging techniques. …
Soil loss assessment in the Turbolo catchment (Calabria, Italy)
Soil loss caused by accelerated erosion is a growing problem in the Mediterranean belt in general, and in many parts of the Calabrian region (Southern Italy), in particular. It is due to the combination of peculiar geomorphological, pedological and climatic features, very often exacerbated by unsuitable land management. The aim of this study is to analyze and map soil loss by water-induced soil erosion at the catchment scale. Soil loss was quanti…
Landslide inventory map of north-eastern Calabria (South Italy)
Landslides are one of the most widespread natural hazards in many areas of Calabria region (Southern Italy), due to the combination of its peculiar geological, morphological, and climatic characteristics and very often to unsustainable land management. This study reports the reconnaissance and the characterization of landslides of north-eastern Calabria (south Italy). The landslide inventory map was obtained by combining field surveys with the an…
