Abstract

The present paper deals with a diffused and continuous kinematic phenomenon in Liguria (Italy). In order to study this complex and wide landslide many data have been collected in a unique platform in GIS (Geographic Information System) obtaining a 3D model of a large area, whose morphology and features are variable. The platform integrates hydrological and geotechnical data and allows stability analyses.
