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 …

Landslides and collapses are common geological hazards in mountainous areas, posing
significant threats to the lives and property of residents. Therefore, early identification of …

This paper addresses the tsunami propagation and subsequent coastal areas flooding by
means of a depth-integrated numerical model. Such an approach is fundamental in order to …

Mud volcanoes (MVs) are geological structures that episodically eject mud breccias
composed of fluids and solids from the Earth's interior. MVs are predominantly associated to …

The city-island-state of Malta is traditionally viewed as a low-hazard country with the lack of
a long historical catalogue of extreme events and their impacts acting as an obstacle to …

The Mediterranean coastlines are densely populated zones which host key socio‐economic
and commercial activities. For this reason, coastal areas are vulnerable sites in case of …

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 …

The Ionian sea is prone to tsunamis due to its proximity to the Calabrian subduction zone,
which is one of the major tsunamigenic areas of the Mediterranean. The tsunami disaster …

The Żonqor coastline, southeast Malta, displays an exceptional range of geomorphic
signatures of extreme coastal events. This paper brings together evidence acquired from a …
