. The study of this landslide is important not only to understand the geomorphological history of this alpine area, and why the Piave River modified its course in the Late Pleistocene, but also the links with human activities, and specifically with the road
After a geological and geomorphological description, the distribution in space and time of landslides which occurred in the surroundings of Cortina d'Ampezzo is presented. The type, activity, frequency and, when possible, the age of mass movements
This paper examines the evolution of a large-scale earthflow located in the northern sector of the Marche Region. In this area, mass movements of different typology are particularly frequent since geological and geomorphological conditions often
The first part of this paper gives the results of a study of the temporal dimensions of mass movements which was carried out by the European Centre for Geomorphological Risks in 1993. The time terminoloy was often inaccurate or incomplete, so
A reconstruction of Holocene climate changes in the Cantabrian region, based on pollen records and on complementary sedimentological, geomorphological, archeological and oxygen isotope data is presented. The climate model thus proposed has been
