Large Scale Geophysical Landslide-Genetic Models for the Adriatic Apennine-Ridge Slopes

Apennine geodynamic and geophysical evidences suggest models generating landslides affecting numerous Italian Regions, namely Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Abruzzi, Molise and also Campania and Basilicata. These Adriatic Foredeep landslide models use concepts of Visco-Elasticity and Catastrophe Theory, recently including original contributions, i.e. Quasi-Sufficient Catastrophe Condition and Hopeless System. These models should be up-to-dated by processing field survey data and realtime Remote Sensing imageries, so using them like expert instruments helping civil protection organisations to alert people and protect natural and built environment.
