Rockfall runout, Mount Cimone area, Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy

Numerous mass movements of different typology characterize both mountainous and piedmont sectors of the Emilia-Romagna Region (Apennine chain, North Italy). Although a less spatially frequent landslide typology within the region, rock falls represent severe threats to buildings, roads and persons due to their high propagation velocity. This paper presents an extract of the Emilia-Romagna regional map of the rock fall runout areas at a scale of 1:25,000. The analysis of rock fall runout areas was based upon a three-dimensional morphological method (TDM). The zone presented in the Main Map encompasses the area surrounding Mount Cimone, in the Emilia-Romagna Region. The proposed regional map of rockfall runout is noteworthy for planning actions and strategies aimed at the prevention and reduction of landslide risk at a regional scale

Toward a centralized data management center for integrated landslide monitoring in Emilia Romagna Region (Italy)

In Emilia Romagna Region, slope monitoring systems have become more widely used for hazard and risk management. However, they are generally non-interoperable. Moreover dispersion of monitoring data in several local databases have made data sharing among the involved institutional actors quite laborious and often untimely. A centralized database and a web-based portal that integrate infor- mation derived by different types of slope monitoring systems has been developed. The paper illustrates the specific features of the developed “SensorNet” and provides examples of its use for visualizing and analyzing in an integrated manner data from different monitoring systems. In perspective it could serve as an every-day operational tool for a timely reporting of landslide monitoring data for surveillance and warning purposes

Historical geospatial database for landslide analysis. The catalogue of landslide OCcurrences in the Emilia- Romagna Region (CLOCkER)

A review of the content, structure, accuracy, and com- pleteness of the Catalogue of Landslide OCcurrences in the Emilia-Romagna Region (CLOCkER) is presented. CLOCkER is a historical database, designed and developed for all types of landslides in the hilly-mountain area of the Emilia-Romagna section of the Northern Italian Apennines. Historical data have been gathered through a collection of numerous sources, includ- ing technical reports, historical archives, scientific literature, and newspapers. The information obtained, which has been evaluated to assess its temporal precision and spatial accuracy, has been recorded in a catalogue consisting of a Database Management System (DBMS) linked to a geographical information system (GIS) interface. The catalogue presently includes 14,416 records of documented landslide occurrences, dating from Middle Ages up to the present. The catalogue is associated with a landslide inventory, continuously updated by the Geological Survey of the Emilia-Romagna Region, where information on the shape, typol- ogy, and state of activity of more than 80,000 landslides is included. Our assessment of catalogue quality reveals a satisfac- tory spatial accuracy and a level of completeness comparable with the theoretical target proposed in the literature for complete inventories. Outputs indicate that CLOCkER can be a reference example useful for other regional historical landslide catalogues. Such reference datasets are useful for a wide range of landslide assessment purposes and can provide practical assistance for stakeholders involved in both scientific and technical fields, forming the basis for landslide temporal trend reconstruction that is essential for landslide hazard evaluation at different spatial-temporal scales. CLOCkER is open access, freely available online

Impulsive ground movements in the mud volcanoes area of "le Sarse" di Puianello (Northern Apennines, Modena, Italy): Field evidence and multi-approach monitoring

In this contribution we present the work carried out to determine the nature of the impulsive vertical ground movements occurred in February 2015 in the mud-volcanoes area "Le Sarse" (Northern Apennines, Modena province, Italy). A multi-technique based work has been started including field surveys, SAR Multi-Interferometric processing and high-precision periodical D-GPS monitoring. Field evidence indicates that movements occurred in February 2015, in the order of 25 cm in few minutes, can be ascribed to a vertical collapse of part of the caldera area rather than to a landslide activity. The affected area is bordered by concentric normal faults that were originated during February 2015. According to SAR interferometry, the collapsed area was already undergoing movements in the order of 2 cm/year at least from 2012. The D-GPS monitoring indicates that movement rates have nowadays still taking place at rates higher than those of the pre-event. In conclusion, it can be assumed that movements in the area are most likely related to the mechanisms controlling the activity and evolution of the mud volcano itself. However, the reconstruction of the structural characteristics of this caldera system and the identification of the specific causes for the February 2015 event still need to be further investigated

St-Martin-de-Corléans (Aosta, Italy) Tomb TII: the chronological and cultural sequence

The paper illustrates the first occupation phases of the ritual and funerary site of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans (Aosta, Italy) based on the reassessment of data from a new season of research carried out between 2007 and 2017. In particular, this contribution focuses on the description and interpretation of the Dolmen TII context, a monumental tomb featuring a complex sequence of ritual and funerary actions that took place from the Chalcolithic to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2900-1800 BC cal.). The study of the funerary context has also been considered through a comparative analysis with dolmens of the Petit-Chasseur necropolis (Sion, Valais, Switzerland) due to the close analogies that exist between the two sites
