Floods are among the most devastating natural hazards in the world, causing the largest percentage of deaths and property damage. The impact of floods can be mitigated with an adequate knowledge of the territory, which makes it possible to better organize prevention plans with an appropriate analysis of the risk areas, which allows the management of relief efforts quickly and adequately. This work presents a methodology for mapping and monitoring the areas affected by floods and landslides by remote sensing: the correct representation and full interpretation of the territory matrix are essential for quality and sustainability design. In this paper, we used tools and technology that allow us to analyze and visualize the landscape evolution. The calibration of the method was performed on the events that took place in Calabria, in Southern Italy, on 12 August 2015. The proposed methodology concerned the planning of acquisition flights, the selection and setting of the sensors used, and the processing and post-processing of the data collected through the application of algorithms used for data manipulation and interpretation. The process of recognizing the areas with deposits of debris through the spectral signature was carried out using similarity criteria relating to hyperspectral data. The results obtained recommend the adoption of this methodology to deal with emergencies due to flood events.

“…During the Messinian the Mediterranean area was affected by the deposition of huge volumes of evaporites, preserved both in wedge-top basins and in deep basinal areas (Hsu et al, 1973), and this particular paleoenvironmental condition is commonly known as Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) (Rouchy & Caruso, 2006;Cosentino et al, 2013;Roveri et al, 2014). The onset of MSC is commonly marked by the deposition of peculiar carbonates, named "Calcare di Base", including various stratigraphic successions describing the passage between normal marine conditions to evaporitic beds (Vai, 1989;Guido et al, 2007;Lugli et al, 2007), but their depositional environment is still debated (Manzi et al, 2011;Dela Pierre et al, 2012;Gindre-Chanu et al, 2020).…”

Numerous outcrops of Messinian authigenic carbonates mark the passage between euxinic shales of the Ghioli di letto Fm at the closure stage of the Miocene foredeep, and the evaporites of the Gessoso-solfifera Fm in the Romagna sector of the northern Apennines. Carbonates have a lenticular to stratiform shape up to 20 m thick and are aligned parallel and concordant to the contact with the evaporites, indicating their primary position. The study of the carbonate succession has evidenced 12 different chemofacies (vuggy and mottled fabric, vein network, conduits, breccias) with chemosymbiotic taxa (lucinids, bathymodiolins, vesicomyids) and negative 13C isotopic signatures (δ 13 C from -36,92‰ up to -54,25), indicating that they are the product of hydrocarbon richfluids seepage at the sea-floor. Facies of the upper succession, close to the contact with evaporites, are typically laminated, with millimetric alternances of peloidal and dark micritic levels. They still preserve seepage imprint testified by 13 C depletion (-22, 37‰) and occurrence of small lucinids and serpulids, and are here interpreted as microbial mats related to vigorous fluid release. The occurrence of seep-carbonates at direct contact with selenitic gypsum offers new data on the transition from marine conditions to evaporitic environment in the framework of the Messinian Salinity Crisis.
