Abstract:Coastal instability in the form of rock fall is widespread along the northern coasts of Malta and is strictly connected to structural controls, such as lithology and tectonics. The local geological and geomorphological setting combined with extreme weather events, whose spatial and temporal occurrence is enhanced by ongoing climate and land use change, determines rock-fall hazard along the north–west coast of Malta, a hotspot for Mediterranean tourism. The present research portrays the results of a pilot study… Show more
