Post-LIA glacier changes along a latitudinal transect in the Central Italian Alps
... We focus on the glaciers of the Livigno, Disgrazia and Orobie sub-regions, located along a north-to-south transect within the Central Italian Alps (Fig. 1). The Livigno sub- region sits on the northern side ...

Hydrogeomorphic processes and torrent control works on a large alluvial fan in the eastern Italian Alps
... Numerical modelling of debris-flow propagation and de- position on the alluvial fan was carried out using the FLO-2D model (O’Brien et al., 1993). FLO-2D is a two-dimensional flood routing code able to simulate ...

Catchment features controlling nitrogen dynamics in running waters above the tree line (central Italian Alps)
... In this study, relationships between some water chemistry descriptors – including nitrogen species and dissolved or- ganic carbon (DOC) – and catchment characteristics were evaluated for a range of sites located above ...

Area and volume loss of the glaciers in the Ortles-Cevedale group (Eastern Italian Alps): controls and imbalance of the remaining glaciers
... Abstract. A widespread loss of glacier area and volume has been observed in the European Alps since the 1980s. In ad- dition to differences among various regions of the Alps, dif- ferent responses to ...

Debris flows in the eastern Italian Alps: seasonality and atmospheric circulation patterns
... Abstract. The work examines the seasonality and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns associated with debris-flow occurrence in the Trentino–Alto Adige region (eastern Italian Alps). Analysis is ...

Multi-temporal LiDAR-DTMs as a tool for modelling a complex landslide: a case study in the Rotolon catchment (eastern Italian Alps)
... Abstract. The geomorphological change detection through the comparison of repeated topographic surveys is a recent approach that benefits greatly from the latest developments in topographical data acquisition techniques. ...

Deeply subducted continental fragments – Part 2: Insight from petrochronology in the central Sesia Zone (western Italian Alps)
... Crucial questions related to continental HP units in oro- gens include the following: how rapidly were they subducted and to what depth? When and how fast were they exhumed? What P –T –t trajectories did they experience? ...

G.I.S. technologies for data collection, management and visualization of large slope instabilities: two applications in the Western Italian Alps
... From the geological point of view, Aosta Valley belongs to the Western Alps, the axial zone of the alpine chain, where an imbricated stack of continental crust and oceanic units take place (Dal Piaz, 1992). They ...

A multi-centennial record of past floods and earthquakes in Valle d’Aosta, Mediterranean Italian Alps
... To test the “regional” character of the reconstructed flood signal, the Lago Inferiore de Laures flood record was com- pared to the Lago di Ledro flood record. Lago di Ledro is a low-elevation lake (660 m a.s.l.) located ...

Estimating forest aboveground biomass by low density lidar data in mixed broad-leaved forests in the Italian Pre-Alps
... The low density point clouds may miss the tree tops, because naturally tree tops have fewer hits compared to the tree crowns. The same problem exists in identifying the ground (Suárez et al. 2005), especially in a steep ...
