Summary
A multi-scale analysis reveals significant rockfall susceptibility along the carbonate cliffs of Cilento, Italy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Mediterranean Geopark. The study identified kinematically unstable areas using advanced remote sensing techniques, including Digital Photogrammetry (Structure from Motion) and LiDAR, which allowed for precise mapping of slope discontinuities and failure mechanisms. High-resolution photomosaics and thematic map overlays further refined susceptibility scenarios at multiple scales. Validation with field measurements confirmed the accuracy of these methods, highlighting their potential for assessing rockfall risks in coastal environments frequented by tourists.
