In this paper an automatic methodology to extract the channel network from high-resolution LiDAR-derived DTMs and a semi-quantitative methodology to assess the short-time landscape evolution of a test-area, located in southern Italy, have been applied. In particular, the technique used is based on a local nonlinear filter together with the global geodesic optimization for channel head and drainage network extraction. Further, the two Lidar acquisition for the year 2012 and 2013 have been used to detect hydrographic network changes and slope evolution in terms of erosion and deposition pattern and then compare them with the slope processes (landslides and linear erosion).

Studying fluvial dynamics and environments, GIS-based analyses are of fundamental importance to evaluate the network geometry and possible anomalies, and can be particularly useful to estimate modifications in processes and erosion rates. The aim of this paper is to estimate short-term erosion rates attributable to fluvial processes in two sample catchment sub-basins of the Marecchia river valley, by conducting quantitative morphometric analyses in order to calculate various descriptive parameters of the hierarchisation of the river networks and the mean turbid transport of streams (Tu). Sediment yield transported by streams can in fact partially express the amount of erosional processes acting within the drainage basin. The study area includes two sub-basins of the Marecchia valley (Senatello river, 49 km2 and Mazzocco river, 47 km2), chosen because of their similar extent and of the different location in the major catchment basin. Starting from geomorphological maps of the two river basins, the Tu parameter has been calculated and converted in short-term rate (average value 0.21 mm/year). Moreover, the comparison of these short-term mean data with the uplift rates calculated on a regional scale (0.41 ± 0.26 mm/year) in the Marecchia valley confirms that the northern Apennines may represent a non-steady state system.

In this article we present the results of a geomorphological and geophysical investigation carried out in the Regional Park of Matera Murgia, also known as Park of the Rupestrian Churches (world site protected by UNESCO), in Basilicata region, southern Italy. The aim of this investigation is to support the scheduled restoration works in some rupestrian historical sites and the safety of the tourist route that connects the churches along the eastern side of Gravina river valley. In particular, a ground penetrating radar (GPR) prospection was conducted on frescoed surfaces in two rupestrian churches permitting the detection of different kinds of problems affecting the fresco surfaces, such as lesions and efflorescence.

This work introduces the results of a geoarchaeological study about a large segment of a Roman road (i.e., Via Herculia, III and the beginning of IV century A.D.), which crossed the Lucanian segment of the southern Apennines (Italy). Classical approach of the archaeological research based on the analysis of bibliographic, archival, literary, archaeological, and historical sources allowed us to infer the Roman road path, which is quite different from previous hypotheses. Geoarchaeological analysis is based on the detailed mapping of lithological and geomorphological features of the study area and has been primarily focused on a well-known segment of the Roman road from Filiano to the southern mountains of the Potenza city (Sasso di Castalda). Our results suggest that the choice of the road path has been driven by the outcrop of some deposits and the presence of specific geomorphological landforms, such as low-relief areas in mountain landscape. Then, the same approach was applied to a sector with controversial archaeological evidences (i.e., the Upper Agri river valley), where geological and geomorphological analyses support archaeological research in the reconstruction of the ancient path. This integrated approach can help archaeology to understand and then discover ancient road paths crossing complex and impervious landscapes such as the intramontane lands.

Landscape evolution models (LEMs) represent one of the most promising approaches to evaluate sedimentary budget, although factors such as the high number of parameters or the difficulty evaluating the robustness of the results can represent a limitation in their application in natural landscapes. In this paper, the Caesar–Lisflood LEM has been applied in a small catchment (i.e., about 9 km2) of southern Italy draining an artificial reservoir in order to test its ability to predict sediment flux and erosion rate. Short-term (i.e., about 20 years) estimation of the sediment volumes accumulated in the reservoir has been reconstructed by a bathymetric survey and compared to the results coming from the coeval LEM simulations. Results indicate a good accordance between LEM-based erosion volume estimations and direct sedimentation assessment, thus testifying to the high potential of such models to solve issues of sedimentary budget and short-term landscape modification.

We present the results of the study of a large and rapid landslide disaster event, which occurred in Montescaglioso, southern Italy, on 3 December 2013. The studied landslide developed following extreme rainfalls in a zone characterized by a stabilized paleo-landslide body and anthropized in time, filling some streams of the original hydrographic network. The morpho-topographic setting characterizing the slope before the new landslide, has showed, in fact, a substantial stability confirmed also by the application of SINMAP (Stability Index MAPping) analysis. Nevertheless, heavy rains and floods caused a powerful and spectacular landslide event because of the anthropic removal of the old drainage network, which has caused the heaviness of the slope located upstream of the 20 collapsed buildings and along the ill-drained quick-road, built transversely to the slope.

A 1:10,000 scale landslide inventory map has been prepared for the Basilicata region (southern Italy) through extensive geomorphological analyses based on aerial photo-interpretations and field surveys. The study area (about 8000 km2) includes different morpho-structural domains of the southern Italian Apennines, and our results suggest that mass movement processes are mainly related to the intrinsic fragility of the landscape, which is featured by high relief and widespread outcrops of clay-rich deposits. As a matter of fact, the landslides of the inventory map cover about 4.8% of the surface area of the Basilicata region, whereas the total percentage of the area covered by the landslides reaches a value of 7.7%, if one considers also the landslides surveyed in previous works.

Evaluating the impact and the incidence of the erosive phenomenon affecting the Basilicata region in 2012 - in particular, the agricultural areas used for the arable lands cultivation -, is an important goal aimed at correlating the erosion process – evaluated through the USPED method application (2012) - with the main characteristics related to soil and the areas interested, such as: soil types, with particular attention to two physical-chemical characteristics, such as: total CaCO3 (%) and soil organic matter content (SOM, %) -, land uses and the spatial distribution of arable lands at municipal scale. The correlation is intended to give an overview of geological and agricultural of amount of the areas affected by this phenomenon, since it aims to analyze and evaluate the agrarian framework in relation to the state of erosion in 2012 by assessing the incidence of the erosion process at regional and municipal scale in relation to the different scenarios deriving from the land use and soil types and choosing the most efficient land management strategy in terms of potential policies to communicate to the final decision makers.

In this work, we introduce the results of a multi-temporal analysis of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) images of the Uggiano castle, a highly degraded medieval archaeological site located about 5 km to the north-west of the Ferrandina town (Basilicata, southern Italy). The geomorphological analysis carried out by multi-temporal images has been integrated with a geological field survey in order to retrace the hillslope evolution of the site as well as the adjacent slopes. This kind of analysis allows to investigate the main stratigraphical and topographic factors responsible for the slope processes, acting along the outer edges of the archaeological site, which is today reduced to a few ruins located at the top of a circular ridge with steep slopes shaped on sandy-conglomerate Pleistocene regressive deposits. The instability phenomena are mainly due to localized erosional processes and falls in conglomerates, which affected the edges of the top surface, where the castle was built. High-resolution images also highlight several collapses of artificial cavities (cisterns) in the central sector of the archaeological site. In addition, a comparison between oblique and vertical UAV images, historical maps, aerial-photo images and the relationships with rainfalls permitted to acquire key data about evolution of slope and erosional processes. Such integrated approach allowed us to individuate in safety conditions the more exposed sectors of archaeological site, where the slope failure processes and collapse cavities occurred, as well as their time activation.

In the age of digital archives and online data consultation, bibliographic research is considered as a key tool for supporting scientific research and study. The online catalogue allows the achievement of more ambitious aims and global interest thanks to its ability to associate data relating to the geographic contextualization of the catalogued editorial products (deduced from the title and content) with the search for more traditional bibliographic data through the inclusion of a specific and standardized ‘field’. Successively, the locations identified by the cataloguer are georeferenced by using GIS applications, which allows the simultaneous view of the distribution of global and local geographical contexts specific for each item owned by a library, archive or museum. The usefulness of such an application lies in the possibility for the library to have a greater awareness of its collection, thus permitting the acquisition of an additional element of evaluation in the management and planning of purchases and donations. In this way, the ability to filter the information from OPAC search will be combined with the basic research carried out by the user by selecting only the libraries in possession of works related to a specific geographical context, involved in different specific studies (literature, landscape, environment). Although this ability is still limited to a few specific studies, the use of tools that allow an overview of the geographical distribution of places could represent an operating standard through the definition of a special protocol. These tools are now used mostly in experimental studies in which the use of open source software has enabled the creation of maps. This paper shows the state of the art of the applications worldwide presenting experimental case studies (i.e. Coos Bay, Oregon; Basilicata, Italy) and also suggests different applications in the field of national and international protocols of library cataloguing.

The sedimentary budget assessment is an important topic for the scientific and social community, because it is\ud crucial to understand the dynamics of orogenic belts and cope with a number of practical problems, such as\ud soil conservation and sediment accumulation in reservoir. Sediment yield or denudation rate estimates in\ud southern-central Italy are generally obtained either by applying simple empirical relationships based on the statistical\ud regression between the geomorphic parameters of the drainage network and the suspended sediment\ud yield measured at the drainage basins outlets, or by using qualitative–quantitative sediment delivery ratio or erosion\ud models. In this work, we carry out a study of catchment dynamics and a sedimentary yield computation of\ud several mountain catchments of the central-western sector of the Basilicata region (southern Italy),which are located\ud upstream of an artificial reservoir. The sediment yield and erosion rate have been computed through both\ud an indirect assessment of the suspended sediment yield, based on the Tu index (mean annual suspension sediment\ud yield), and the application of the RUSLE and USPED empirical methods. The results obtained have been\ud compared with the historical data of sediment accumulation, measured in the artificial reservoir of the Camastra\ud damwhere a detailed evaluation of the volumes of historical (i.e. about 40 years) sediment storage was collected.\ud The collected dataset represents a basic tool both for the investigation of the morpho-dynamics of a typical\ud mountain catchment of theMediterranean area and the evaluation of sediment budget related to fluvial and hillslope\ud processes. The 38-year-long record of the sediment storage in the Camastra artificial reservoir located at the\ud outlet of the studied mountain catchments permits the validation of empirical relationships based on the geomorphic\ud and climatic parameters of the drainage basin. Among the three different methods of sediment yield\ud evaluation (Tu index, RUSLE and USPED), the Tu index showed the best prediction ability, although USPED erosion\ud model also furnished a good estimation. As also confirmed by other works, the indirect estimation of sediment\ud yield based on Ciccacci's empirical relationships can represent a good proxy of short-term denudation rates in\ud the Mediterranean areas with geological and geomorphological features similar to the study area but the use\ud of empirical models with increasing complexity such as the USPED erosion model can help to explore the spatial\ud distribution of the sediment yield sectors of the drainage basin, the erosion hot-spots, and the role of landslides in\ud sediment mobilization and hillslope-channel connectivity processes

Changes in annual and seasonal temperatures were studied from 18 stations, distributed all over the Basilicata region (southern Italy), for the 1951–2010 period. The analysis is based on high‐quality and homogenous daily minimum and maximum temperatures. Both minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures increase, especially after 1971. Seasonal results show upward trends in Tmin in winter, spring and summer, whereas they show downward trends in Tmin in autumn, especially in the last normal 1981–2010. Tmax also shows upward trends in spring and summer, whereas it tends to decrease during winter and autumn. The intra‐annual extreme temperature range (ETR) index also shows a general positive trend, especially during spring. Eleven indices were used to assess the changes in both the cold and warm tails of the daily temperature distribution. The presence of trends was assessed by means of the Mann‐Kendall test. The results reveal a general upward tendency on warm days (TX90), warm nights (TN90) and tropical nights (T20) especially because of an increase in temperature after 1971. This datum is fully confirmed in summer which is the season mainly responsible for this trend. The annual occurrence of summer days (SU) and very warm days (TX99) is weakly increasing. The majority of cold extremes, i.e. very cold nights (TN1), cold days (TX10), cold nights (TN10), frost days (FD) and ice days (ID) showed negative trends, thus confirming the overall warming trend in the Basilicata region. This negative trend could stem from the strong increase of Tmin during winter, spring and summer.

It is recognised that a lot of the landslides occurred in the Mediterranean region are triggered by short intense storms. Due to its geological, geomorphological and climatic settings, the Bradanic Foredeep (Basilicata region) is affected by the widespread presence of landslides. The main objective of this paper is to identify the empirical triggering thresholds in Bradanic Foredeep and to investigate the role of antecedent rainfall. Using a variety of information sources, we have compiled a catalogue listing 97 rainfall events linked to landslides triggering in the investigated area. For each event in the catalogue, the exact or approximate location of the landslide and the time or period of initiation of the slope failure is known, together with information on the rainfall duration D, and the rainfall mean intensity I , that have resulted in the slope failure. The local rainfall threshold for the study area has been established using the statistical Frequentist approach. The comparison with regional thresholds proposed for other Italian regions has revealed that the Bradanic Foredeep thresholds are lower; which is probably due to the different quality of rainfall dataset. In fact, all the previous threshold have been evaluated starting from hourly data, while for the Basilicata region only daily data are available. Throughout this study we could not identify a significant correlation between antecedent rainfall and critical rainfall.
