Abstract
To analyse morphologic and volumetric changes within an active basin-fan system of about 0.250 km2 in Calabria (South Italy), we compare two high-resolution DTMs (50 cm) derived from aerial LiDAR surveys conducted in October 2012 and May 2013. The comparison allowed us to: (i) evaluate the magnitude of erosion-transport-sedimentation processes (ii) identify the extent of an active landslide within the feeder sub-basin, and (iii) confirm the fan, feeder channel and feeder basin dynamics obtained from previous works based on geological and geomorphological field surveys. The results demonstrate that the LiDAR techniques can be a useful tool for the monitoring of geomorphological changes in areas affected by severe erosion and depositional processes.
