Topics related to geoheritage research, protection, and conservation, as well the enhancement dissemination of knowledge, have experienced an important increase in interest regarding perspectives both research management policies. In geodiversity management, geoconservation is a term that encompasses series actions dedicated on protection geoheritage, knowledge this area. Geoconservation kind container, with several compartments different aspects identify geodiversity, including scientific,...
The abandonment of inhabited places is a phenomenon widespread on global scale that has spanned centuries. It led to the birth so-called ‘ghost towns’. These lifeless sites dot internal Mediterranean and European areas, testifying changeability human settlements. Through vision reverses paradigm epitomises towns’, these can be transformed from problem into an opportunity for development territories host them. main topic this article present update investigations performed three abandoned...
This study proposes an integrated methodology to investigate hydrogeological instability, combining remote sensing with in-situ geophysical surveys in Gorgoglione, a small town Basilicata, southern Italy, located low mountain area (~800 m a.s.l.). The Italian Apennines, where Gorgoglione is situated, are highly susceptible geomorphological instability due the interplay of lithology, relief morphology, active tectonics, seismicity, climate, and vegetation. In recent decades, land abandonment...
The proposed geological itinerary connects a series of impressive outcrops distributed between the front and inner portion Southern Apennine thrust belt. It offers opportunity to visit some most interesting best-exposed geosites, inserted within landscapes typical different sectors belt, in order illustrate its evolution. has been designed such way as intersect stacked tectonic units great variety sedimentary successions whose age ranges from Triassic Pleistocene. Each chosen geosite...
This paper deals with a UAV LiDAR methodological approach for the identification and extraction of archaeological features under canopy in hilly Mediterranean environments, characterized by complex topography strong erosion. The presence trees undergrowth makes reconnaissance remains very difficult, while erosion, increased slope, tends to adversely affect microtopographical potential interest, thus making them hardly identifiable. For purpose our investigations, survey has been carried out...
The Southern Apennines consist of a Cenozoic to Quaternary fold and thrust belt characterized by complex structural architecture. In the axial portion chain, corresponding Agri Valley, folds faults with multiple styles formed during progressive emplacement various tectonic units, derived from different paleodomains. available geological maps, geometry these structures is often hindered scarce cartographic detail due use basic stratigraphic subdivisions. Therefore, at aim better define...
The Ionian coast of the Basilicata region, southern Italy, is characterized by a remarkable archaeological heritage, valuable crops, and national international tourism, contributing significantly to regional economy. In last two decades, area has been affected heavy recurrence flooding events, which caused significant damage agriculture, tourist infrastructure, heritage. Both qualitative quantitative analyses pluviometric, hydrometric, erosion/deposition dynamics main rivers have carried out...
Several theoretical and applied studies are concerned with the topics of geological heritage management geoconservation. The diversity natural anthropic scenarios into which is inserted, as well its troublesome management, make these challenging for scientific discussion. However, on other hand, highlight complexity a schematization approaches procedures, practical application assumptions. This paper concerns case study in geoconservation actions, begins identification basic description site...
This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried out in Basilicata region (southern Italy) from most external thrust front Apennines, where town Craco is located, to adjacent sector Apennines foredeep (Fossa Bradanica; Pisticci area). The importance chosen area mostly resided presence really diffuse running-waters and gravity-induced landforms which strictly affect urban areas. processes are linked with Quaternary tectonic uplift affecting Apennine front-Bradanic...
Abstract Two volcaniclastic successions intercalated in Pliocene basinal clays from the Southern Apennines have been analysed to determine their provenance and relationship with geodynamic evolution of Western Mediterranean. The studied deposits are exclusively made up ashy pyroclasts, dominated by fresh acidic intermediate glass, mostly form shards, pumice fragments groundmass vitrophyric texture. Crystals include Pl, Opx, Cpx, Hbl rare Bt. Sedimentological features suggest that volcanic...
This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried out in Basilicata region (Southern Italy) sector youngest foredeep (Bradano trough) relative to most communal territory Pisticci. The importance chosen area mostly lies presence diffuse running-water landforms and landslides affecting urban areas. processes are linked with Quaternary tectonic uplift Apennine front-Bradanic sectors. A series field surveys, supported by aerial photo interpretation, have led production a...
Italy is one of the European countries most affected by landslides. In order to mitigate risk, analysis such phenomena should involve a broad spectrum studies understand geological and geomorphological properties unstable areas, geometric features landslides causes their trigger, evolution over time, works risk mitigation taken as well effectiveness time. This article concerned with multidisciplinary investigations on historical earth flow occurred in Montemurro (Basilicata, Southern Italy)...
