Geomorphological Features

Abstract. This paper reports the results of geological and geomorphological surveys and the first results of a still in progress GPS monitoring campaign, taken on a large and ancient landslide located near Avigliano town (Basilicata region, South Italy). The landslide occurs on structurally complex clayey-marly terrains and it is classifiable as a multiple and complex roto-translational-earthflow landslide. In the last years this landslide has been affected by frequent reactivations that have been the cause of grave damages to the urban structures in the area. During January 2004, in order to monitor the present kinematics of the landslide body, a GPS network was installed. Until today several GPS surveys have been carried out. The results of GPS data analysis show centimetres level motions going on the landslide. The final goal of the research will be to define a hazard evaluation and an evolution model of the landslide, using the integrated information coming from GPS and geomorphological surveys.

Geomorphological Features

Drones and modern photogrammetry for castlesCastles, often built on hills with extremely steep slopes, or on sea cliffs overlooking stretches of water, were difficult to conquer. Construction techniques and geomorphology of the area were a key factor in making castles impregnable to sieges of military troops or bands of pirates or robbers. Today, the same characteristics make them difficult to survey. In fact, there are huge difficulties in surveying fortified structures on the top of hills or on the edge of a precipice. Such geomorphological features sometimes make the survey difficult, time consuming and expensive and unsafe for operators. Today, these problems can be reduced through the use of drones and photogrammetric processing tools which are based on Structure from Motion algorythms and are easy to use. This method allows us to acquire data with geometric resolution in order to map and study masonry characteristics, as well as analyze and monitor decay and crack patterns for restoration purposes. In this paper, we will discuss the potential of drones and modern photogrammetry techniques in architectural surveys and applied to three case studies. These include the castle of Isabella Morra in Valsinni (Basilicata, South Italy), perched on a cliff; the medieval citadel of Uggiano in Ferrandina (Basilicata, South Italy) in an advanced state of degradation and on a plateau with high geological risk; and the San Fernando Fuerte to Bocochita (Cartagena de Indias, Colombia) overlooking the sea.

Basilicata region, in south Italy, is delimited by the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian seas and  includes territories morphologically different with four protected areas, two regional and two national. This lack of homogeneity of the territory reflects on the tourism dynamics of the region. Coastal territories are more profitable in terms of flows, while in the inland territories, except Matera, the weight of tourism is still too low. In the protected areas, except the Regional Park of Murgia Materana, flows are marginal and tourism cannot activate a significant local development process. Given this framework, the Fondazione Mattei conducted a study aiming at the determination of strategic guidelines for the planning of a local development based on the integration between market forces and forms of social control. This planning aims at the redistribution and deseasonalization of coastal flows through the integration between coastal and rural tourism in the inland. To evaluate the integrated tourism product potentiality, Eni Enrico Mattei foundation analyzed some national case studies and conducted a survey on the consumer of the Ionian Coast. Analysis measured the tourism competitiveness of the protected areas in Basilicata by the use of Dwyer and Kim’s model combined with Balanced Scorecard method. The more appealing products for the coastal demand and more competitive products in the market of green destinations have been identified by BCG matrix.The analysis outlined the necessity of a strategy of integration of the four protected areas in order to increase their market share and several tourism segments should be enhanced to increase the potential of the nature-based tourism product of Basilicata.

Italian Territory

In order to improve the floristic knowledge of the Italian territory, we report the inventory of the taxa collected during the annual field trip of the working group for Floristics, Systematics and Evolution of the Italian Botanical Society held in 2015 in eastern Irpinia and Vulture-Melfese area (South Italy). The investigated territories are located in southern Apennines, along the border between the Campania and Basilicata administrative regions. These areas are scarcely known in terms of vascular flora. The floristic samplings were performed in 19 sites selected as representative of the local environmental diversity as regards to climate, litho-morphology and land-use. The research led to the identification of 4,137 specimens of vascular plants, belonging to 815 species and subspecies, 399 genera, and 85 families. Among these taxa, 42 were endemic to Italy, 38 were included in the IUCN Red List of the Italian Flora, 28 were alien and 5 were cryptogenic in Campania and/or Basilicata administrative regions. Two taxa, Aquilegia coerulea (casual alien, native to North America) and Lolium × boucheanum (native), were found to be new for Italy. On the basis of the available floristic literature the first one is also to be considered new for the European flora. At regional scale, we have found 18 taxa new for the Campania and 15 new for the Basilicata region. Finally, 10 taxa were confirmed for Campania. Data obtained during this study, confirmed the important role of a collaborative approach among botanists and the great relevance of these territories for plant diversity.

Indirect Technique

During the landslide emergency many kinds of data, even if preliminary, can help to better understand the complexity of the investigated phenomenon and to give a valid contribution to the successive damage valuation. The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method was applied for investigating the deep characteristics of a landslide body that occurred in March 2006 close to Potenza town in Basilicata region (southern Italy): the landslide slid on a road near some farmers’ houses which had to be evacuated. The information obtained by the application of this indirect technique appeared to be particularly useful for end users involved in the risk management. The high resolution of the 2D ERT technique allowed the detection of possible sliding surfaces and the characterization of high water content areas in which the increase of the saturation degree and of pore pressures could cause a weakening of the slopes and a reactivation of the movement. Due to the comparison between ERT results and stratigraphical data from boreholes carried out in the area it was possible to decide on the adoption of other evacuation decrees.

First Results

My talk will be on the oblique rotator model which was first proposed by Stibbs (1950), and since received success and further developments. I shall present two different attempts at describing a star according to this model and the first results obtained in the framework of a Russian-French collaboration in order to test the precision of the two methods. The aim is to give the best possible representation of the element distributions on the Ap stellar surfaces. The first method is the mathematical formulation proposed by Deutsch (1958-1970) and applied by Deutsch (1958) to HD 125248, by Pyper (1969) to α2CVn and by Mégessier (1975) to 108 Aqr. The other one was proposed by Khokhlova (1974) and used by her group.
