This study deals with both the engineering-geological and kinematic characterization of the Fontane landslide based on geological and geophysical field investigations and on geotechnical monitoring campaigns. The coupled analysis of stratigraphic boreholes and of seismic refraction tomography profiles allowed to constrain the geometry of the...

This study presents the employment of automatic deep drainage systems to stabilize the Mendatica landslide, one of the largest relict landslides of western Liguria (north-western Italy). Despite the relict state of activity of the main landslide body, a residual kinematic still affects the sector of accumulation zone over which the small...

This special issue presents contributions about the methodologies and tools for representing and mapping geomorphological hazards, with a focus upon hazard and risk classification and tools for land planning, risk reduction and mitigation.

This study is focused on the use of digital close -range remote surveying techniques for the identification and mapping of landslide phenomena along rock slopes in protected areas. This activity is part of a research project aimed at the digital analysis of slope models. The techniques compared herein are based on photographic and...

In this work, experiences from the use of bioengineering techniques as geo-hydrological risk mitigation measures within the territory of Cinque Terre National Park (Eastern Liguria, Italy) after an extreme rainfall event that occurred on 25 October 2011 are described. This rainstorm was responsible for intense erosive processes and triggered...

The Cinque Terre National Park (38 km2) has recently recorded a remarkable increase in tourists involved in outdoor activities such as hiking. However, due to the actual slope degradation issues that affect this outstanding terraced landscape, hiking trails are increasingly threatened by the impact of landslides. This produces severe...
