Geomorphological mapping of terrestrial and marine areas, northern Malta and Comino (central Mediterranean Sea)

This paper presents an integrated geomorphological map of terrestrial and marine areas of northern Malta and Comino (central Mediterranean Sea) at 1:25,000 scale. The map is the result of terrestrial and marine analyses of different types of data such as aerial photos, digital terrain model of the seafloor and its acoustic backscatter image. The research is intended to emphasise the relationships and continuity of geomorphological features of both the land-and sea-scape, and outline their evolution. The map highlights the occurrence of fluvial, karst and gravity-induced landforms both on land and on the seafloor, such as palaeo-fluvial channels, sinkholes and landslides, which were shaped during sea level lowstands of the last glacial cycle.

This paper presents a geomorphological map of the floodplain at the confluence of the Aventino and Sangro rivers (scale 1:10,000), located across the Adriatic piedmont of the Maiella Massif (Abruzzo Region, Central Italy). This area is in the lower reach of the Sangro-Aventino drainage basin, which in the mid-1900s was affected by the creation of four main artificial water reservoirs by damming of the basin's major rivers and the related network of spillway pipes for hydropower purposes. This, combined with climatic factors, induced a strong rearrangement of river channels and floodplains. The fluvial geomorphological features have been analyzed through a detailed-scale multi-temporal analysis based on geomorphological field mapping, topographic analysis, and a remote sensing analysis carried out on aerial photos, orthophotos and Lidar images. The map includes three sections: physiographic and geological setting; main geomorphological map; multi-temporal ) and morphometric analysis of the floodplain. The mapping is focused on landforms and continental deposits, mainly linked to fluvial, slope and anthropogenic processes, and to 1954 and 2009 river channels planform analyses and the related morphometric parameters, in order to outline the changes in the river dynamics, strongly influenced by anthropogenic intervention. At a local scale, this type of map can contribute to the understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of the changes in fluvial form and support river management. Finally, it may represent a tool for the assessment of natural hazards in landscapes characterized by intense and rapid geomorphological (fluvial) processes, as well as a tool for correct land management.

This work presents a geomorphological map of the Feltrino Stream basin and minor surrounding coastal basins (scale 1:20,000), located in the south-eastern Abruzzo area (Central Italy), across the Adriatic piedmont of the Maiella massif (Central Apennines). This geomorphological mapping is focused on near-surface deposits and hillslope evolution analysis and includes three sections: main geomorphological map; orography and hydrography; and geomorphological models of hillslope evolution.In the study area, landforms and continental near-surface deposits are mainly linked to slope and fluvial processes, even though structural, marine, and anthropogenic landforms are also present. The mapping is primarily focused on near-surface deposits and landforms related to the evolution of hillslopes, resulting from the combination of tectonic (regional uplift) and surface processes. At a local scale, it can contribute to an understanding of the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of the changes of landforms and hillslopes and help solve engineering geomorphological problems. Finally, it is also a tool for the assessment of geomorphological hazards in landscapes characterized by widespread near-surface deposits and intense and rapid geomorphological processes, as well as a tool for land management.
