Landslide morphometry and typology in two zones, Calabria, Italy

Carrara, A. / Catalano, E. / Sorriso Valvo, M. / Reali, C. / Merenda, L. / Rizzo, V.

Summary A long-term project for a landslide inventory has been initiated in Calabria, where slope instability constitutes a major geological hazard. This project that involves the building up of a computer-based data bank of slope instability phenomena, has been tested in two zones characterized by different geological and geomorphological conditions. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis indicates that landslide morphometric and typologic attributes are highly dependent on the geologic and geomorphic features of the area where slope failure occurs. Moreover, although most of the morphometric attributes of landslides affecting these two zones differ significantly, their relationships expressed in terms of correlation coefficients show an overall similarity. Lastly, a linear combination of these attributes can discriminate most of the landslides occurring in these two investigated areas.
