This work presents the geomorphology of the Anversa degli Abruzzi badlands (also called calanchi, a typical italian landform) area, located in the Abruzzo Region (Central Apennines, Italy). The map is the result of morphometric and geomorphological analyses, performed at the badland scale, and incorporates three main sections including orography and hydrography, main geomorphological map, and multi-temporal photogeological analysis. The aim of this work is to provide the basis for the recognition of geomorphological features linked to the fluvial environment. Specifically, the study is focused on the Anversa degli Abruzzi calanchi system and it contributes to improving the understanding of this landscape evaluating the geomorphological processes that control its morphometric features and its spatial and temporal evolution
