Abstract

High-resolution bathymetry collected around the Aeolian islands allowed the recognition of a large spectrum of geomorphic features referable to mass-movements. The main predisposing and triggering factors, recurrence times and tsunamigenic potential of the recognized mass-movements are briefly discussed to provide some insights into geohazard assessment of the area
