Spatio-temporal variability of landslides as indicator of climate change impact
Ground instabilities such as landslides, subsidence, sinkholes, and soil liquefaction are highly sensitive to climate change. In Italy, these phenomena represent a major component of hydrogeological risk, particularly in mountainous and hilly regions where recent extreme events have highlighted the growing influence of climatic stressors on slope instability. Intense and prolonged rainfall acts both as a preparatory factor, gradually weakening sl…
SLiX
The stream length-gradient (SL) index is widely used in geomorphological studies aimed at detecting knickzones, which are extensive along-stream deviations from the typical concave-up shape assumed for stream longitudinal profiles at steady-state conditions. In particular, SL was practical for identifying anomalous gradients along bedrock stream channels in mountainous catchments. This work presents the GIS toolbox SLiX designed to extract values…
Rockfall runout, Mount Cimone area, Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy
Numerous mass movements of different typology characterize both mountainous and piedmont sectors of the Emilia-Romagna Region (Apennine chain, North Italy). Although a less spatially frequent landslide typology within the region, rock falls represent severe threats to buildings, roads and persons due to their high propagation velocity. This paper presents an extract of the Emilia-Romagna regional map of the rock fall runout areas at a scale of 1:…
Geomorphological features of the Rio della Rocca valley (northern Apennines, Italy)
This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Rio della Rocca valley, a small catchment located in the lower Apennines of the Province of Reggio Emilia (northern Italy). The geomorphological map has been produced at a scale 1:7500 as a base document within multidisciplinary investigations aimed at the rehabilitation of the area, which is characterised by peculiar geological and geomorphological features and a high scenic value, despite clear …
Geomorphological map of the NW Coast of the Island of Malta (Mediterranean Sea)
This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried along the north-western coast of the Island of Malta. Field surveys, accompanied by aerial photo-interpretation, have led to the production of a geomorphological map at 1:7500 scale which outlines the main processes and related landforms. The latter are the results of the complex interplay of structural, gravitational, coastal and karst processes. Particular attention was …
