Abstract
The following work focuses on the surveys that were carried out using optical sensors (photogrammetry) and LiDAR mounted on UAS platforms. The processing of the acquired images provided the necessary information for the development of high-precision digital terrain models that can be used as a basis for the subsequent modeling of the stability analysis of collapse phenomena with STONE, a three-dimensional rockfall simulation model. These surveys allowed us to localize the possible detachment sources and the inclusion of scenario-based seismic shaking as a trigger for rockfalls.The areas filmed fall almost exclusively along the north-western slope of Mt. Epomeo and more precisely in the areas identified as locality Falanga (32 ha) and locality Frassitelli (123 ha) in the territory of the Municipality of Forio (Napoli) and only marginally in the Municipality of Serrara Fontana (Napoli). The slope surveyed has two distinct morphologies: 1) the north-west oriented sector (Falanga) delimited by extremely steep walls and by cliffs with variable vertical development, at the base of which there is a large sub-flat area delimited to the north by a new sudden jump in slope; 2) in the west sector (Frassitelli) the slope is instead more rounded, even if in various points there are areas with steep slopes and strongly fractured cliffs; this side is characterized by the presence of numerous tuff blocks, even of large dimensions, which have stopped at various altitudes after having detached themselves from the overlying sub-vertical walls.We also used data from the Geoportale Nazionale Italiano managed by the Ministry of Environment and provided different kinds of spatial data.
