Many hazards of both natural and anthropogenic origin affectkarst terrains, due to intrinsic high vulnerability of theenvironment, which combines with the actions performed byman (increasing urbanization, advances in agriculture technologies,etc.)

A landslide hazard zonation is a division of the land surface into areas, and the relative ranking of these areas according to degrees of actual or potential hazard from landslides on slopes. Zonation from scientific research does not generally imply legal ...

This paper focuses on origin, morphology and evolution of seven landslide dams in southeastern Sicily. These landforms are part of a set of 146 landslides recently recognised in this area, which was hitherto considered to have little or no slope instability. ...

Analysis of the stability conditions of rock masses in underground karst systems involves a study of the breakdown processes that acted during the formation of the caves, integrated with a survey of the present conditions of the walls and roof. Especially ...
