Geomorphology and landslide susceptibility assessment using GIS and bivariate statistics: a case study in southern Italy
Magliulo, Paolo; Lisio, Antonio Di; Russo, Filippo; … - In: Natural Hazards 47 (2008) 3, pp. 411-435
In this article, the results of a study aimed to assess the landslide susceptibility in the Calaggio Torrent basin (Campanian Apennines, southern Italy) are presented. The landslide susceptibility has been assessed using two bivariate-statistics-based methods in a GIS environment. In the first...

A Source Study of the 9 September 1998 (Mw 5.6) Castelluccio Earthquake in Southern Italy using Teleseismic and Strong Motion Data
Arrigo, G.; Roumelioti, Z.; Benetatos, Ch.; Kiratzi, A.; … - In: Natural Hazards 37 (2006) 3, pp. 245-262
Teleseismic and strong motion data are used to derive the source parameters of the September 9, 1998 Castelluccio earthquake (M5.6). Teleseismic body-wave modeling indicates normal faulting (Plane 1: strike = 328°, dip = 50°, rake = −75°; Plane 2: strike = 126°, dip = 42°,...

Volume estimate of flow-type landslides along carbonatic and volcanic slopes in Campania (Southern Italy)
Falco, M. De; Crescenzo, G. Di; Santo, A. - In: Natural Hazards 61 (2012) 1, pp. 51-63
Recent studies on flow-type landslides in pyroclastic deposits have been performed to identify potential source areas and the main depositional mechanisms. Interesting methods for mapping landslide susceptibility have also been proposed. Since the potential volume of flow-type landslides is a...

Soil erosion susceptibility assessment and validation using a geostatistical multivariate approach: a test in Southern Sicily
Conoscenti, Christian; Maggio, Cipriano; Rotigliano, Edoardo - In: Natural Hazards 46 (2008) 3, pp. 287-305
A certain number of studies have been carried out in recent years that aim at developing and applying a model capable of assessing water erosion of soil. Some of these have tried to quantitatively evaluate the volumes of soil loss, while others have focused their efforts on the recognition of...

Susceptibility regional zonation of earthquake-induced landslides in Campania, Southern Italy
Rapolla, A.; Nocera, S.; Matano, F.; Paoletti, V.; … - In: Natural Hazards 61 (2012) 1, pp. 115-126
In this paper, we present a GIS-based method for regional zoning of seismic-induced landslide susceptibility and show its application to the territory of the Campania region, Southern Italy. The method employs only three factors that we believe are most significant in the susceptibility...

Mapping soil erodibility from composed data set in Sele River Basin, Italy
Diodato, Nazzareno; Fagnano, Massimo; Alberico, Ines; … - In: Natural Hazards 58 (2011) 1, pp. 445-457
Evaluation of soil erodibility is an important task for Mediterranean lands, in which fertility and crop yield are significantly affected by soil erosion. The soil physicochemical parameters affecting soil erodibility are highly variable in space and, as for many other environmental variables,...

Reconstruction of long-term earth-flow activity using a hydroclimatological model
Guerriero, Luigi; Diodato, Nazzareno; Fiorillo, Francesco; … - In: Natural Hazards 77 (2015) 1, pp. 1-15
This study presents a new proxy for the reconstruction of the historical activity of large earth flows. A simple relationship between rainfall, temperature and groundwater levels was established using available monthly time series and subsequently utilized to develop the Landslide Hydrological...
