People who live on the Mediterranean basin have a long and fascinating common history. In some aspects, the geological history of this area presents many similarities too, posing similar challanges: nature and characteristics of natural hazards is the most relevant one. In fact, the diffusion of highly fissured and sheared stiff clays and clay shales pose many problems to the stability of natural slopes and cuttings. This suggests that people living in this area should establish opportunities for exchanges of ideas. Dealing with these materials and finding common ways to landslide risk mitigation is one of the first and most relevant problems.

Abstract
People who live on the Mediterranean basin have a long and fascinating common history. In some aspects, the geological history of this area presents many similarities too, posing similar challanges: nature and characteristics of natural hazards is the most relevant one. In fact, the diffusion of highly fissured and sheared stiff clays and clay shales pose many problems to the stability of natural slopes and cuttings. This suggests that people living in this area should establish opportunities for exchanges of ideas. Dealing with these materials and finding common ways to landslide risk mitigation is one of the first and most relevant problems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
