On 6 August 2010, a large (∼50 Mm3) debris avalanche occurred on the flank of Mount Meager in southern Coast Mountains British Columbia, Canada. We studied deposits to infer morphodynamics landslide from initiation emplacement. Structure motion (SfM) photogrammetry, based oblique photos taken with standard SLR camera during low helicopter traverse, was used create high-resolution orthophotos and base maps. Interpretation images maps allowed us recognize two main rheological phases avalanche....
In the 20th anniversary year of European Geopark Network, and 5 years on from receipt UNESCO label for geoparks, this research focuses geotourism contents solutions within one most recently designated admitted membership in 2013: Sesia Val Grande Global (Western Italian Alps). The main aim paper is to corroborate use fieldtrips virtual tours as resources geotourism. analysis developed according to: i) geodiversity geoheritage geopark territory; ii) different approaches planning fieldtrip...
In the framework of geosite management, specific targeted symbols for geomorphological legends are still lacking. Concerning geosites interest, mapping requires in relation to goals and applications, either concerning geomorphic hazards risk detection or enhancement resources, particular those related cultural heritage and, hence, geoheritage. A new methodology geo(morpho)heritage on maps is presented this paper. Nine iconic examples from Italian landscape, selected different morphogenetic...
This paper aims at systemizing knowledge related to geodiversity assessment for water resources and its evaluation. The novel aspect connected of this is the analysis components hydrological system, both superficial underground level, in territory Sesia Val Grande United Nations educational, scientific, cultural organization (UNESCO) Global Geopark (Northwest Italy). More specifically, research establishes a conceptual model specific procedure evaluation on regional scale, by means...
A geoethical approach to geodiversity allows better understanding of the value abiotic nature and enhances its conservation development. Our basic assumption is that even during an economical crisis, geoheritage sites can serve both public private interests. set nine strategic geothematic areas were chosen represent Piemonte region, north-western Italy, each which characterized by great potential for scientific studies, enhancement science, recreational activities, economic support local...
The San Leo village, located near to Rimini (northern Italy), was built in the medieval period on top of a calcarenite and sandstone plateau, affected by lateral spreading associated with secondary rock falls topples. In fact, number landslides endangered historical town since centuries. order describe structural features driving these slope instability phenomena, complete Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) survey all around cliff performed. Moreover, Close-Range Photogrammetric (CRP) surveys...
Field survey and geomorphological mapping in urban areas are difficult tasks, particularly those related to the recognition of natural landforms within cities. In this case, it is necessary apply an integrated scientific approach by combining geomorphology with historical-geography. This paper presents result a multi-year carried out morphological amphitheatre where historic centre Genoa developed. Our research methods included field surveys areas, interpretation anthropic from maps...
New strategies for preservation of geodiversity and geosystem services need to be developed mountain areas that are vulnerable climate change human activities. Detailed geomorphological surveys analyses have been carried out in the Indren-Cimalegna area, southern slope Monte Rosa (Western Italian Alps). From remote sensing analysis field inventories, a map (1:5000) was created, with new GIS-compliant legend, targeted studies glacial periglacial environments. A (1:15,000) also produced,...
Since the end of Little Ice Age (LIA, ca. 1850 AD) a general and progressive retreat glaciers started in European Alps, causing important environmental changes this high mountain region. The appearance glacier lakes is one most evident effects Alps as well newly deglaciated areas worldwide. In order to understand conditions formation reconstruct evolutionary stages lakes, it collect analyse diversity data from different time periods. Through analysis historical topographic maps digital...
Since both the EU Erasmus+ program and UNESCO Global Geoparks aim at developing models of best practices, a shared playground for common activities can be found in high geodiversity rich geoheritage areas to promote innovative education professional perspectives ecological transition. Two consecutive cooperative partnerships (GEOclimHOME GEOclimHOME-PRO) involved schools, research institutions, three European geoparks (Rokua, Finland; Sesia Val Grande, Italy; Chablais, France) improved...
Abstract. The European Union and the Space Agency (EU/ESA) have promoted since 1998 (Baveno Manifesto*) GMES Programme (Global Monitoring for Environment Security), nowadays called Copernicus (www.copernicus.eu). In agriculture domain, use of Sentinel imagery its services are providing several new opportunities. knowledge fundamentals Earth Observation/Geographic Information EO/GI, namely Geomatics, development innovative strategies professional skills adequacy capacity building, supporting...
The Destination Earth (DestinE) European initiative has recently brought into the scientific community concept of Digital Twin (DT) applied to Sciences. Within 2030, a very high precision digital model Earth, continuously fed and powered by Observation (EO) data, will provide as many replicas (DTs) different domains earth sciences are. Considering that DT is driven use cases, depending on selected application, provided information change. It follows that, achieve reliable representation...
Detailed analysis of Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), digital imagery, and a discussion their various applications derived geothematic products are presented for study areas in two different geological geomorphological contexts North West (NW) Italy. In both cases it has been proposed an integrated approach that put evidence many advantages using these new geomatics tools.In the first context, mapping high altitude Aosta Valley (Gran Paradiso Gran San Bernardo) have carried out by...
