Posidonia oceanica (Delile) is a Mediterranean seagrass species whose fallen leaves accumulate along shorelines, forming compact structures known as banquettes. Despite their ecological and protective functions, these deposits remain insufficiently documented across the Mediterranean and are frequently removed before the summer season due to tourism and aesthetic considerations. This study develops and tests a Geographic Infor...

Wildfires can significantly affect mountain hillslopes through the combustion of trees and shrubs and changes in soil properties. The type and magnitude of the associated post-fire effects depend on several factors, including fire severity and soil physical–mechanical-hydraulic features that, coupled with climate and topographic conditions, may cause increased runoff, erosion, and slope instability as consequence of intense ra...

The analysis of slope stability over large areas is a demanding task for several reasons, such as the need for extensive datasets, the uncertainty of collected data, the difficulty of accounting for site-specific factors, and the considerable computation time required due to the size of investigated areas, which can pose major barriers, particularly in civil protection contexts where rapid analysis and forecasts are essential....
