Early warning systems can predict rainfall-induced landslides by comparing rainfall data with landslide rainfall thresholds. These systems are based on empirical rainfall thresholds defined using rain gauges data. Despite quantitative satellite rainfall estimates are currently available, limited research has compared satellite estimates and rain gauge measurements for the forecasting of possible landslide occurrence. In this work, we validate satellite estimates obtained for Italy by the NASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) against rainfall measurements from the Italian rain gauge network (< 1950 rain gauges), in the period from 1 September 2009 to 31 August 2010. Using cumulative rainfall measurements/estimates, we_ (i) evaluate the correlation between the rain gauge measurements and the satellite estimates in different morpho-climatological domains, (ii) analyse the distributions of the ground-based measurements and the satellite estimates using different statistical approaches, and (iii) compare rainfall events derived automatically from satellite and rain gauge rainfall series. We observe differences between satellite estimates and rain gauge measurements in different morpho-climatological domains. The differences are larger in mountain areas, and collectively reveal a complex relationship between the ground-based measurements and the satellite estimates. We find that a power law correlation model is appropriate to describe the relation between the two rainfall data series. We conclude that specific rainfall thresholds must be defined to exploit satellite rainfall estimates in existing landslide early warning systems.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

In the framework of the European Soil Thematic Strategy and the associated proposal of a Framework Directive on the protection and sustainable use of soil, landslides were recognised as a soil threat requiring specific strategies for priority area identification, spatial hazard assessment and management. This contribution
outlines the general specifications for nested, Tier-based geographical landslide zonings at small spatial scales to identify priority areas susceptible to landslides (Tier 1) and to perform quantitative susceptibility evaluations within these (Tier 2). A heuristic, synoptic-scale Tier 1 assessment exploiting a reduced set of geoenvironmental factors derived from common pan-European data sources is proposed for the European Union and adjacent countries. Evaluation of the susceptibility estimate with national-level landslide inventory data suggests that a zonation of Europe according to, e.g. morphology and climate, and
performing separate susceptibility assessments per zone could give more reliable results. To improve the Tier 1 assessment, a geomorphological
terrain zoning and landslide typology differentiation are then applied for France. A multivariate landslide susceptibility
assessment using additional information on landslide conditioning and triggering factors, together with a historical catalogue of
landslides, is proposed for Tier 2 analysis. An approach is tested for priority areas in Italy using small administrative mapping
units, allowing for relating socioeconomic census data with landslide susceptibility, which is mandatory for decision making regarding
the adoption of landslide prevention and mitigation measures. The paper concludes with recommendations on further
work to harmonise European landslide susceptibility assessments in the context of the European Soil Thematic Strategy.

In Italy, rainfall-induced slope failures occur every year, claiming lives and causing
severe economic damage. We have designed and implemented a landslide warning system, named SANF
(an acronym for national early warning system for rainfall-induced landslides), to forecast the possible
occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides in Italy. The system is based on_ (i) rainfall thresholds for pos-
sible landslide occurrence, (ii) sub-hourly rainfall measurements obtained by a national network of 1950
rain gauges, and (iii) quantitative rainfall forecasts. Twice a day, the system compares the measured and
the forecasted rainfall amounts against pre-defined ID thresholds, and assigns to each rain gauge a prob-
ability of landslide occurrence. This information is used to prepare synoptic-scale maps showing where
rainfall-induced landslides are expected in the next 24 hours.

Contractional architecture within the compressive edges of mountain
belts is dominated by thrust faulting. Thrust faults of regional extent
produce the emplacement of thrust nappes along low angle faults spanning
for of kilometres. The erosion, and related removal, of connecting
portions of a nappe may isolate remnant portions of the nappe, or
klippen. The process results in exotic rock blocks of different sizes
resting on the hanging wall of low angle faults. This simple structural
architecture may be misinterpreted because as the result of a more
complex deformation history. Studying the meaning of exotic rock blocks
along a thrust fault of regional extent in the Southern Apennines,
Italy, we show that previously interpreted thrust-related klippe are the
products of a subsequent deformation stage overprinting the thrust
features. A suite of low angle, foreland direct, brittle faults
developed during the younger deformation stage were recognised in the
studied exotic rock blocks. Low angle faults merge at the basal tectonic
contacts of the rock blocks, and truncate thrust-related structures in
the footwalls. The low angle faults cut down-section into the footwalls,
and appear extensional. The meaning of the low-angle extensional faults
is discussed in the framework of the transition tectonics from
syn-orogenic contraction to late/post orogenic extension, accompanied in
the Southern Apennines by intense uplift. We interpret the extensional
tectonic fabrics as the products of a heterogeneous deformation
resulting in progressive tilting of weak interfaces. In the structures,
gravity sliding processes can induce normal faulting compatible with a
thrust regime. The findings has implications for the reconstruction of
the history of deformation of a large sector of the Southern Apennines,
Italy.

Landslides are present in all continents, and play an important role in the evolution of landscapes. They also
represent a serious hazard in many areas of the world. Despite their importance, we estimate that landslide
maps cover less than 1% of the slopes in the landmasses, and systematic information on the type, abundance,
and distribution of landslides is lacking. Preparing landslide maps is important to document the extent of
landslide phenomena in a region, to investigate the distribution, types, pattern, recurrence and statistics of
slope failures, to determine landslide susceptibility, hazard, vulnerability and risk, and to study the evolution
of landscapes dominated by mass-wasting processes. Conventional methods for the production of landslide
maps rely chiefly on the visual interpretation of stereoscopic aerial photography, aided by field surveys.
These methods are time consuming and resource intensive. New and emerging techniques based on satellite,
airborne, and terrestrial remote sensing technologies, promise to facilitate the production of landslide maps,
reducing the time and resources required for their compilation and systematic update. In this work, we first
outline the principles for landslide mapping, and we review the conventional methods for the preparation of
landslide maps, including geomorphological, event, seasonal, and multi-temporal inventories. Next, we
examine recent and new technologies for landslide mapping, considering (i) the exploitation of very-high
resolution digital elevation models to analyze surface morphology, (ii) the visual interpretation and semi-
automatic analysis of different types of satellite images, including panchromatic, multispectral, and synthetic
aperture radar images, and (iii) tools that facilitate landslide field mapping. Next, we discuss the advantages
and the limitations of the new remote sensing data and technology for the production of geomorphological,
event, seasonal, and multi-temporal inventory maps. We conclude by arguing that the new tools will help to
improve the quality of landslide maps, with positive effects on all derivative products and analyses, including
erosion studies and landscape modeling, susceptibility and hazard assessments, and risk evaluations.

Abstract
During the 20th century, floods in Italy have killed or injured more than 4750 people ...
During the 20th century, floods in Italy have killed or injured more than 4750 people in
at least 916 fatal flood events, at 739 different sites (Salvati et al., 2010). In the same
period, the number of homeless and evacuees caused by inundations exceeded 530 000.
These figures indicate that flood risk to the population is severe and widespread in
Italy. Consequently, establishing flood risk levels is a problem of both scientific and
societal interest.
Estimates of individual and collective risk levels in Italy were first determined by
Salvati et al. (2003), and were revised by Guzzetti et al. (2005a,b) and by Salvati et al.
(2010). In this Chapter, we use an improved version of the catalogue of flood events
with human consequences in Italy (Salvati et al., 2003, 2010; Guzzetti et al., 2005b) to
update the existing estimates of individual and societal flood risk in Italy and in the 20
Italian regions. Next, we investigate the temporal and the geographical variations of
flood risk in Italy, and we compare the national flood risk levels to the levels of risk
posed by other natural hazards, including landslides, earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Here, we use the term fatalities to indicate the sum of the deaths and the missing
persons caused by a harmful flood event. Casualties indicate the sum of fatalities and
injured people. Evacuees are people forced to abandon their homes temporarily, while
the homeless are people that lost their homes. Human consequences encompass
casualties, homeless people and the evacuees. A fatal event is an event that resulted in
fatalities. Individual risk is the risk imposed by a hazard to any unidentified individual.
Societal (or collective) risk is the risk imposed by a hazard on society as a whole.

Abstract

Landslide risk depends on landslide hazard, i.e. the probability of occurrence of a slope failure of a given magnitude
within a specified period and in a given area. The occurrence probability of slope failures in an area characterized
by a set of geo-environmental parameters gives the landslide susceptibility. Statistical and deterministic methods
are used to assess landslide susceptibility. Deterministic models based on limit equilibrium techniques are applied
for the analysis of particular types of landslides (e.g., shallow soil slips, debris flows, rock falls), or to investigate
the effects of specific triggers, i.e. an intense rainfall event or an earthquake. In particular, infinite slope stability
models are used to calculate the spatial probability of shallow slope failures. In these models, the factor of safety
is computed on a pixel basis, assuming a slope-parallel, infinite slip surface. Since shallow slope failures coexist
locally with deep-seated landslides, infinite slope stability models fail to describe the complexity of the landslide
phenomena. Limit equilibrium models with curved sliding surfaces are geometrically more complex, and their
implementation with raster-based GIS is a challenging task. Only few attempts were made to develop GIS-based
three-dimensional applications of such methods. We present a preliminary implementation of a GIS-based, threedimensional slope stability model capable of dealing with deep-seated and shallow rotational slope failures. The
model is implemented as a raster module (r.rotstab) in the Open Source GIS package GRASS GIS, and makes use
of the three-dimensional sliding surface model proposed by Hovland (1977). Given a DEM and a set of thematic
layers of geotechnical and hydraulic parameters, the model tests a large number of randomly determined potential
ellipsoidal slip surfaces. In addition to ellipsoidal slip surfaces, truncated ellipsoids are tested, which can occur in
the presence of weak layers or hard bedrock. Any raster cell may be intersected by various sliding surfaces, each
associated with a computed factor of safety. The lowest value of the factor of safety is stored for each raster cell
together with the depth of the associated slip surface. This results in an overview of potentially unstable regions
without showing the individual sliding areas. We test the model in the Collazzone area, Umbria, Central Italy, which
is susceptible to landslides of different types. The presence of both shallow translational and deep-seated rotational
landslides, and the availability of reference data, allow for the critical evaluation of the model in comparison with
standard infinite slope stability models.

In the framework of VIGOR Project, a national project coordinated by the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources (CNR-IGG) and sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Development (MiSE), dedicated to the evaluation of geothermal potential in the regions of the Convergence Objective in Italy (Puglia, Calabria, Campania and Sicily), is expected to evaluate the ability of the territory to heat exchange with the ground for air conditioning of buildings. To identify the conditions for the development of low enthalpy geothermal systems collected and organized on a regional scale geological and stratigraphic data useful for the preparation of a specific thematic mapping, able to represent in a synergistic and simplified way the physical parameters (geological, lithostratigraphic, hydrogeological, thermodynamic) that most influence the subsoil behavior for thermal exchange. The litho-stratigraphic and hydrogeological database created for every region led to the production of different cartographic thematic maps, such as the thermal conductivity (lithological and stratigraphical), the surface geothermal flux, the average annual temperature of air, the climate zoning, the areas of hydrogeological restrictions. To obtain a single representation of the geo-exchange potential of the region, the different thematic maps described must be combined together by means of an algorithm, defined on the basis of the SINTACS methodology. The purpose is to weigh the contributions of the involved parameters and to produce a preliminary synthesis map able to identify the territorial use of geothermal heat pump systems, based on the geological characteristics and in agreement with the existing regulatory constraints.

Traditional methods used to prepare landslide inventory maps consist in visual interpretation of stereoscopic aerial photography, supported by field surveys. New techniques, based on satellite remote sensing technologies, can simplify and assist the production of landslide maps. VHR satellite stereoscopic images can be an alternative to stereoscopic aerial photographs for landslide detection and mapping in all terrain types, and in different land cover conditions. Visual analysis of the images allows the recognition of the slope failures and accurate 3D mapping of the landslides. Stereoscopic satellite images cover a significantly larger area than single pairs of aerial photographs, and allow the construction of single stereoscopic 3D model. Exploiting VHR images is possible to have a single, extensive view of the study area, and to map small and large landslides without changing the viewpoint, or the pair of aerial photographs. This facilitates the task of the interpreter and improves the acquisition of the geomorphological information.
We present the results of a study, carried out in in Mexico and in Italy, aimed to evaluate the capability of the VHR stereoscopic satellite images to recognize and map different landslide types in different geo-morphological settings.. For the purpose we analyzed the following images_ i) pansharped images acquired by the GeoEye satellite sensor taken the 31 March 2010, for the Mexico study area- and ii) panchromatic images acquired by the WorldView satellite sensor on 8 March 2010, and by the GeoEye satellite sensor on 27 May 2010, for the Italian study area. The satellite images or products we used in the two test areas have a ground sampling distance of 50 cm, adequate for mapping and measuring most of the shallow landslides. We present the photo interpretation criteria we used to prepare the two landslide inventory maps regarding different environment conditions and landslide types.

On 1 October 2009, a high intensity storm hit the Ionian coast of Sicily, SW of Messina, Italy. The Santo Stefano di Briga rain gauge, located 2 km W of the Ionian coast, recorded 225 mm of rain in seven hours. The intense rainfall event triggered abundant slope failures, and resulted in widespread erosion and deposition of debris along ephemeral drainage channels, extensive inundation, and local modifications of the coastline. Landslides occurred in a territory prone to slope failures, due to the local geological and geomorphological settings. Many landslides were related to the presence of roads lacking adequate drainage. Abandoned terraced slopes lacking proper drainage, and unmaintained dry walls were also related to slope failures. Damage was particularly severe in small villages and at several sites along the transportation network. The shallow landslides and the inundation resulted in 37 fatalities, including 31 deaths and six missing persons, and innumerable injured people. After the event, an accurate landslide inventory map was prepared for the Briga and the Giampilieri catchments. The map shows_ (i) the distribution of the event landslides triggered by the 1 October 2009 rainfall event; (ii) the distribution of the pre-existing slope failures; and (iii) other geomorphological features related to fluvial processes and slope movements. The landslide inventory map was prepared at 1_10,000 scale through a combination of field surveys and photo-interpretation of pre-event and post-event, stereoscopic and pseudo-stereoscopic, aerial photography. Different types of aerial photographs were analysed visually to prepare the landslide inventory map. The event landslides were mapped through the interpretation of pseudostereoscopic colour photographs taken shortly after the event at 1_3500 scale, combined with digital stereoscopic photographs at approximately 1_4500 scale, taken in November 2009. The pre-event landslides and the associated geomorphological features were mapped using 1_33,000 scale aerial photographs flown in 1954, 1955, and 2005. The event and pre-existing landslides were checked in the field in the period October- November 2009.

Deliverable 5.4 is the result of the activities carried out in the framework of the task 5.4 "Ground deformation velocity maps and time series using SAR satellite data". In the test sites, operative chains for satellite SAR data processing have been implemented and applied to obtain near-real time information on the evolution of the ground deformation phenomena. DInSAR and PSInSAR technology have been exploited to study ground deformation induced by different phenomena including ground water exploitation, mining, and landslides. Velocity deformation maps and time series using SAR satellite data have been prepared to analyse and monitor large time intervals deformation phenomena, characterized by a temporal evolution of displacements.
