Finally, the entire succession is overlain by Upper Pleistocene deposits (Chiarella, Longhitano, & Muto, 2009;Perri et al, 2012), from continental to marine, that have been removed in some areas by intense denudation processes. Plio-Quaternary sediments unconformably overlay the Upper Miocene conglomerates and evaporites; locally, they overlay the Paleozoic crystalline basement (Gullà et al, 2005).…”

This paper describes the activities conducted for the development of a thematic map of shallow landslides (and other landforms) resulting from by consecutive rainfall events during the fallwinter seasons of 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 in the Catanzaro Strait (Central Calabria, South Italy). The methodology is based on the interpretation of Google Earth high-resolution satellite images (post-event images are dated 19th March 2010), followed by processing and management of the collected data through a geographic information system.The inventory covers a wide area (692 km 2 ) and includes 3483 shallow landslides and many other geomorphological features (zones of incipient shallow landslides and areas affected by soil erosion) related to the 2008-2010 rainfall events.The map produced may provide useful data to define shallow landslide events, develop landscape evolution models and characterise active geomorphic processes. Furthermore, the map may also be used as a basic tool to produce landslide or erosion susceptibility maps, which can be used for land-use planning strategies and landslide hazard analyses.

“…Due to this reduction in sediment production, it is reasonable to assume that the fluvial system of the inner plateau removed the remaining regolith rather quickly, which resulted in a rapid exposure of the scarps. The resulting sediment would then have been relocated to the surrounding flanks and in the basins at the foot of the massif (Perri et al, 2012;Ruello et al, 2017;Russo Ermolli et al, 2018. The rapid removal of already disintegrated sediments would also explain the delayed increase in D Surface at the hills between 8 and 4 ka BP (Figure 12b).…”

How soil erosion rates evolved over the last about 100 ka and how they relate to environmental and climate variability is largely unknown. This is due to a lack of suitable archives that help to trace this evolution. We determined in situ cosmogenic beryllium‐10 (10Be) along vertical landforms (tors, boulders and scarps) on the Sila Massif to unravel their local exhumation patterns to develop a surface denudation model over millennia. Due to the physical resistance of tors, their rate of exhumation may be used to derive surface and, thus, soil denudation rates over time. We derived soil denudation rates that varied in the range 0–0.40 mm yr‐1. The investigated boulders, however, appear to have experienced repositioning processes about ~20–25 ka bp and were therefore a less reliable archive. The scarps of the Sila upland showed a rapid bedrock exposure within the last 8–15 ka. Overall, the denudation rates increased steadily after 75 ka bp but remained low until about 17 ka bp. The exhumation rates indicate a denudation pulse that occurred about 17–5 ka bp. Since then the rates have continuously decreased. We identify three key factors for these developments – climate, topography and vegetation. Between 75 and 17 ka bp, climate was colder and drier than today. The rapid changes towards warmer and humid conditions at the Pleistocene–Holocene transition apparently increased denudation rates. A denser vegetation cover with time counteracted denudation. Topography also determined the extent of denudation rates in the upland regime. On slopes, denudation rates were generally higher than on planar surfaces. By determining the exhumation rates of tors and scarps, soil erosion rates could be determined over long timescales and be related to topography and particularly to climate. This is key for understanding geomorphic dynamics under current environmental settings and future climate change. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The geological and geomorphological pattern, just discussed, is an environmental condition that, if properly managed, could be the main driving force for a human wellbeing in this coastal area and more exactly: sandy beaches well nourished by drainage channels, which collect large amounts of detritic material from erosional processes in continental areas to the sea (e.g., Perri et al, 2012b); coastal plains extending continually from the coastline until to the base of hilly belt; widespread presence of groundwater and water run-off; absence of dry areas and a plenty of vegetated soils.…”

a b s t r a c tThe increasing landscape urbanization, through goods and services production, as required by people needs, is often cause of environmental decay producing a sharp decrease in quality life for resident population.This paper aims to study some negative environmental feedbacks and the increase of geomorphological hazards in the coastal area, roughly urbanized, of Bivona country (Vibo Valentia, Calabria, Southern Italy). The analysis shows how the wrong and chaotic urban development, without any appropriate town planning scheme, has produced growing conditions of environmental decay with time. Consequently, it has been detected a decrease of prices in market estate commonly used as a marker of Human Quality Life. For this purpose, it has been applied the Hedonic model able to supply useful information about the gained or the reduced values of building industry caused by the improvement or by the worsening of environmental health conditions. The results highlight, with quantitative data, how the sustainable development of landscape must be realized through goods and services production respecting the environmental limits, in order to avoid negative territorial feedbacks able to decrease Human Quality Life. It has also been proposed a graphical representation about the trend of Human Quality Life in function of goods and services production.
