geomorphological units in the Guadix-Baza depression, establish the geochronological evolutionary framework of the main erosional stages in this depression, and determine the period of formation of these badlands.
Characteritics badlands are incised into Plio-Pleistocene clays in Basilicata, creating steep, scarp slopes with knife-edge ridges (calanchi) and small dome-shaped forms (biancanes). This paper presents results from a 1997-2003 study into the rates
at which badland landforms evolve and erode in the uniform Plio-Pleistocene silty-clay lithology of southern Italy. The main controls on these rates are investigated, and the extent to which it is possible to extrapolate these rates over time is discussed
In this study, factors including geological setting, material properties and terrain conditions are examined to better interpret the origin of biancane and calanchi in the Aliano badlands. The AA. provide an explanation for their origin, casting
