Destructive tsunamis are most often generated by large earthquakes occurring at subduction
interfaces, but also other “atypical” sources—defined as crustal earthquakes and non …

Abstract Background The Mediterranean Sea is a region characterized by high seismic
activity, with at least 200 tsunami events recorded from the fourth century to the present …

The coastal region of Augusta, eastern Sicily, Italy, is a densely populated zone, where
human pressures profoundly shaped the coastal and land dynamics. So far, understanding …

Traditional tsunami catalogues are conceived as a collection of tsunamis classified by the
generating cause, providing a general description of the effects observed for each tsunami …

Based on morphobathymetric and seismic reflection data, we studied a large landslide body
from the eastern Sea of Marmara (NW Turkey), along the main strand of the North Anatolian …

In this study, we present a new 2D numerical model, UBO-Inter, able to simulate the motion
of a body sliding down a generic surface. Such a body is represented as a mechanical …

Geophysical surveys in the eastern slope of the Gela Basin (Strait of Sicily, central
Mediterranean) contributed to the identification of several episodes of sediment mass …

Abstract Mt. Athos, Northern Greece, is a monastic community with life since~ 1000 AD, a

Ischia Island has been repeatedly affected by mass collapses, which are mainly caused by
the steepness of the main peak (Mt Epomeo) and by phenomena related to its volcanic …

Mediterranean coasts are prone to tsunamis due to high seismicity in some well-known
areas near plate margins. However, tsunamis have a low frequency of occurrence despite …
