This special issue of Geomorphology includes 14 papers dealing with landslides selected from two conferences of the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG): the Regional Conference held in Brasov, Romania, in September 2008 and the Seventh International Conference celebrated in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2009. The Regional Conference, under the theme “Landslides, floods and global environmental change in mountain regions”, was organized by Prof.Dan Bălteanu (Institute of Geography of the Romanian Academy) and his collaborators in a classic landslide area, the Carpathian Mountains. The participation reached 150 delegates from 30 countries. The programme of this meeting included 12 sessions with 116 contributions, 49 of which are related to landslides. This issue includes 8 papers out of the 11 selected presentations. The rest of the articles are derived from the “Hillslopes and Mass Movements” session of the Seventh International Conference on Geomorphology, organized by the Australian and New Zealand Geomorphology Group (ANZGG) under the leadership of Prof. Brian Finlayson (Monash University, Australia). Participation in this major event reached 648 delegates from 50 countries and the programme included 37 theme sessions. A total of 6 papers were selected from the 46 contributions presented at the “Hillslopes and Mass Movements” session convened by professors Mike Crozier (Victoria University, New Zealand) and Mauro Soldati(University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy). This compilation of articles covers a wide geographical and thematic canvas, with a special flavour from Eastern Europe derived from the IAG Regional Conference held in Romania. The study areas include all the major continents with the exception of North America. Eight papers from Europe (Andorra, Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland, Romania, Spain and Switzerland) deal with a wide diversity of topics; magnitude and frequency relationships in the Pyrenees, paleoenvironmental record of landslide activity in the Carpathians, slope instability in glacialacustrine clays in the Estonian coastal plain, landslide characterization in the Bohemian Massif, susceptibility mapping in Romania, mapping and assessment of debris-flow sediment sources in the Swiss Alps, and shallow slides and trenching applied to large landslides in a reservoir in the Pyrenees.

Background: The study of past landslide dams and their consequences has gained a considerable significance for forecasting induced hydraulic risk on people and property. Landslide dams are rather frequent in Italy, where a broad climatic, geological and morphological variability characterize different part of the peninsula, and have already been studied in literature, focusing different geographical regions with different levels of detail. In order to develop specific tools to assess the landslide dam formation and stability, the first step is to realize a large data archive including a big number of data, collected with a consistent methodology to standardize the quality. Description: For this reason, this paper reports the results of an extensive bibliographic work and geomorphologic investigation on landslide dams that lead to the development of the wider systematic inventory in Italy. Through the revision and the update of scientific works and historical reports, three hundreds of landslide dams from the Alps to the Southern Apennine and Sicily were identified. During investigations and through cartographic and aerial photos interpretation, several geomorphic parameters of the landslide, the dam body, the valley and the lake, if any, have been determined, or estimated using historical and bibliographical documents analysis. Conclusions: The collected data were resumed in a database, formed by 57 information fields easy to collect and measure to privilege intuitive usability and future implementation. In order to describe the characteristics of landslide dams in Italy some specific analysis on the different types of landslide movements and their volume, the dam longevity, the main triggers and their geographical distribution were carried out. Keywords: Landslide dam; Database; Geomorphology; Morphometric parameters; Photointerpretation; Italy
