“…1a) (e.g., Castellarin et al, 2006, and references therein) cut and refolded the external Paleogene Dinarides compressive structures (e.g., Doglioni and Bosellini, 1987;Zanferrari et al, 2013). At the Miocene-Pliocene transition, the counterclockwise rotation of the Adria microplate produced dextral strike-slip deformation in Slovenia (e.g., Marton et al, 2003;Vrabec and Fodor, 2006).…”

Abstract. We investigated the eastern corner of northeastern Italy, where a system of NW–SE-trending dextral strike-slip faults of western Slovenia intersects the south-verging fold and thrust belt of the eastern Southern Alps. The area suffered the largest earthquakes of the region, among which are the 1511 (Mw 6.3) event and the two major shocks of the 1976 seismic sequence, with Mw = 6.4 and 6.1. The Colle Villano thrust and the Borgo Faris–Cividale strike-slip fault have been here first analyzed by interpreting industrial seismic lines and then by performing morphotectonic and paleoseismological analyses. These different datasets indicate that the two structures define an active, coherent transpressive fault system that was activated twice in the past two millennia, with the last event occurring around the 15th–17th century. The chronological information and the location of the investigated fault system suggest its activation during the 1511 earthquake.

“…2B) [Doglioni and Bosellini,1987;Avanzini et al, 2012]. Doglioni and Bosellini [1987] did not subdivide the Calcari Grigi Group into different formations, hence they were not able to distinguish multiple deformation phases within the Early Jurassic activity of the synsedimentary normal faults. By contrast, Avanzini et al [2012] provided a finer stratigraphic framework that allowed two extensional phases of deformation to be recognized.…”

“…In this paper we present an example of integration of photogrammetry and airborne LiDAR to study an outcrop where a synsedimentary extensional structure is exposed (mount Cornello, Southern Alps, Italy). The exposure's conditions, a virtually inaccessible vertical wall, have so far discouraged a detailed characterization of the structure, which was previously described by Doglioni and Bosellini [1987] and Avanzini et al [2012] on the basis on 2D images and drawings. The application of geologic 3D modeling techniques has allowed representing the mount Cornello structure in his three dimensionality for the first time.…”

LiDAR and photogrammetry data are integrated to study an Early Jurassic extensional synsedimentary structure in the Italian Southern Alps. Airborne LiDAR data helped in getting geologic information in areas covered by vegetation, photogrammetry was applied to produce a high-resolution 3D textured model of the inaccessible parts of the outcrop. LiDAR and photgrammetric data were merged together producing a multi-resolution model. Key geologic boundaries and faults bounding the synsedimentary structure were digitized in a 3D geomodeling environment. The reconstruction yielded information about the structure kinematics and accumulated displacements.

“…The area is affected by important tectonic structures, prevalently related to the Tertiary NE-SW trending Alpine compression (Doglioni and Bosellini, 1987). In the study area faults have been classified by geometric and kinematic elements, able to discriminate among low angle faults, thrust faults, tension faults, normal faults and thrusts.…”

Abstract. In the last years a research project aimed at the assessment of the landslide hazard and susceptibility in the high Cordevole river basin (Eastern Dolomites, Italy) have been carried out. The hazard map was made adopting the Swiss Confederation semi-deterministic approach that takes into account parameters such as velocity, geometry and frequency of landslides. Usually these parameters are collected by means of geological and morphological surveys, historical archive researches, aerophotogrammetric analysis etc. In this framework however the dynamics of an instable slope can be difficult to determine. This work aims at illustrating some progress in landslide hazard assessment using a modified version of the Swiss Confederation semi-deterministic approach in which the values of some parameters have been refined in order to accomplish more reliable results in hazard assessment. A validation of the accuracy of these new values, using GPS and inclinometric measurements, has been carried out on a test site located inside the high Cordevole river basin.
