The Signatico landslide is located in Northern Italy, on the Po plain side of the Apennines, along the river Parma. It is a complex landslide with a totallength of about 3 km (the accumulation zone only occupies over 1 km of the river bed). It involves rotational slides and falls from the crown, but the displaced material is very quickly weathered and dismembered, moving downstream as a long, slow flow. This landsli.de has undergone many reactivations, historically dating back to the Middle Ages. Now, many human facilities are directly at risk: an important road, some villages and some other scattered houses. A comparison of aerial photos taken over the last 30 years was made, in order to identify signals of the landslide evolution while engineering-geological surveys investigated the landslide and the surrounding areas. A monitoring system is also in progress. The aim of this study is to forecast a possible new reactivation. In this case, it is important to give, as soon as technically possible, the information to civil protection so that loss reduction measures can be adequately planned.

Abstract
The Signatico landslide is located in Northern Italy, on the Po plain side of the Apennines, along the river Parma. It is a complex landslide with a totallength of about 3 km (the accumulation zone only occupies over 1 km of the river bed). It involves rotational slides and falls from the crown, but the displaced material is very quickly weathered and dismembered, moving downstream as a long, slow flow. This landsli.de has undergone many reactivations, historically dating back to the Middle Ages. Now, many human facilities are directly at risk: an important road, some villages and some other scattered houses. A comparison of aerial photos taken over the last 30 years was made, in order to identify signals of the landslide evolution while engineering-geological surveys investigated the landslide and the surrounding areas. A monitoring system is also in progress. The aim of this study is to forecast a possible new reactivation. In this case, it is important to give, as soon as technically possible, the information to civil protection so that loss reduction measures can be adequately planned.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
