The application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, in geological, geomorphological, and geotechnical studies has gained significant attention due to their versatility capability capture high-resolution data from challenging terrains. This research uses drone-based photogrammetry assess the geomechanical properties rockfall potential several rock scarps within a wide area 50 ha. Traditional methods for evaluating parameters on involve time-consuming field surveys...
Shallow landslides are destructive hazards and play an important role in landscape processes. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the shallow landslide susceptibility investigate which predisposing factors control spatial distribution collected instability phenomena. GIS-based logistic regression model jackknife test were respectively employed achieve scopes. studied area falls Mesima basin, located southern Calabria (Italy). research was based mainly on geomorphological study using...
This work focuses on developing multidisciplinary research weathering profiles of granitoid rocks related to the tectonic and landscape evolution Capo Vaticano area, Calabria, southern Italy. During Pleistocene, Mediterranean climate plays, already decomposed plutonic rocks, important processes alteration, both highest inland areas coastal Calabrian region, such as studied area. Field observations coupled chemical, minero‐petrographical features geochemical modelling are used characterize...
A wide literature and research interest focus on mapping shallow landslides, investigating their triggering factors, evaluating connected hazards providing policies for risk mitigation, using a variety of methods. Many researchers also explored the role weathering processes as predisposing factors but most them applied this approach to deep mass movements or did not consider soils from pedological point view, thus taking into account intrinsic juxtaposition different pedogenic horizons...
In this work some representative soil profiles located in a pilot river catchment northern Calabria, Southern Italy, were studied with the aim to understand role of features on stability slopes and trigger factors shallow landslides. The Turbolo Stream was chosen as area, many other geographic areas based its geological environmental features. This basin has an extension about 30 km^2 exhibits important lithological, geomorphological pedological variability. main types range from highly...
In the framework of ongoing project “SOIL SHADES – SOIL features and pedogenic processes as predisposing factors SHAllow landsliDES”, funded by Next Generation EU, National Recovery Resilience Plan (PNRR) Italy, M4.C2.1.1., Research Programme (PNR)–Research Projects Significant Interest (PRIN), an integrated multi-scale multi-analytical approach was applied in Turbolo Stream catchment, northwestern Calabria region (southern Italy). Due to its peculiar...
Abstract In this paper, we aim to define a procedure of flood hazard assessment applicable large river basins in which events can be induced/sustained by the full basin area or fractions total as functions extent triggering precipitation event. The proposed is based on combined approach accounting for (1) reconstruction intensity–duration–frequency curves expressing magnitude terms intensity multiple return periods; (2) application soil conservation service method runoff estimation from...
For centuries the promontory of Capo Colonna in Calabria region, southern Italy, experienced land subsidence and coastline retreat to an extent that archaeological ruins ancient Greek sanctuary are currently under threat cliff failure, toppling irreversible loss. Gas extraction nearby wells is a further anthropogenic element account for at regional scale. Exploiting unprecedented satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) time series including ERS-1/2, ENVISAT, TerraSAR-X, COSMO-SkyMed...
This work aims to describe the flash flood event occurred between 18 and 19 October 2010 in Zinzolo basin. The basin is located on Tyrrhenian side, along northern edge of Capo Vaticano promontory (Calabria, southern Italy), close Tropea village. drainage area mainly made up granitoids, often strongly altered therefore easily erodible. geomorphic condition network shows low hierarchy degree downward concavity hypsometric curve. These features suggest that a juvenile stage subject significant...
The aim of the study was to identify a number sonographic landmarks in evaluation oral phase swallowing. Forty non-dysphagic adults (average age 38 years) and 20 normal bottle-fed newborns 13 days) were submitted videorecorded examination using two types transducers (5 7.5 MHz). asked swallow ml bolus water examined while sucking from bottle containing milk. Preliminary transverse scans neck obtained evaluate laryngeal movements during mouth through submental window sagittal coronal scans....
