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. …
Landslide-risk scenario of the Costa Viola mountain ridge (Calabria, Southern Italy)
The study area of the Costa Viola mountain ridge is strongly exposed to shallow landslides triggered by rainfall. Starting from a susceptibility map, recently published by the same team, the related risk has been assessed, limitedly to landslide sources. The hazard has first been evaluated by considering the recurrence periods of triggering events. Economic value and physical vulnerability of the types of elements at risk have been assumed by con…
Landslide inventory map for the Briga and the Giampilieri catchments, NE Sicily, Italy
On 1 October 2009, a high intensity storm hit the Ionian coast of Sicily, SW of Messina, Italy. The Santo Stefano di Briga rain gauge, located 2 km W of the Ionian coast, recorded 225 mm of rain in seven hours. The intense rainfall event triggered abundant slope failures, and resulted in widespread erosion and deposition of debris along ephemeral drainage channels, extensive inundation, and local modifications of the coastline. Landslides occurre…
