Description
Summary:The Calabria region is prone to widespread landslides due to its unique geological and climatic conditions. Landslide risk is crucial for spatial planning, making an updated inventory essential. A revised landslide inventory for Calabria (CaLaI) was created by processing previous inventories and new mapping, supported by local field surveys and A-InSAR Sentinel-1 data. The results were compiled in an atlas with four maps, featuring 16913 landslides, categorized as follows: 8081 slides, 5166 diffuse instability areas, 2065 complex landslides, 965 flows, 352 areas affected by erosion, 234 falls/topples, and 50 deep-seated gravitational slope deformations. Of the total, 9253 are active, and 760 are dormant/suspended. Additionally, a WebGIS platform was developed for quick visualization and continuous updating of the landslide inventor.
