The geomorphological map described covers an area of about 1,720 km, located on the northeastern part of Calabria (south Italy); it contributes to the understanding of both long-term landscape evolution and present-day trends of the Crotone Province. The map, at a 1:75,000 scale, integrates information coming from geomorphological analysis of relief, air photo interpretation and fieldwork. It documents the interplay between tectonic and climatic controls at different temporal and spatial scales. Several remnants of planation surfaces, developed during late Miocene-early Pliocene, result from ancient landscape fragmentation and uplift since the Late Pliocene. Marine and alluvial terraces reflect complex cycles of erosion and deposition, possibly in relation to climate and tectonism during most of the Quaternary. Finally, the present landscape is heavily affected by slope denudational processes such as mass movements, running water processes and wave action. This map may provide the basis for further analyses, representing a useful tool for land management as well as the initial step for the assessment of geomorphological hazard and risk
