Sinkholes in Italy. The sinkholes and underground cavities: historical research, study methods and intervention
On May 2014 it was possible to rekindle the attention on sinking phenomena, the sinkholes, a theme definitely debated in scientific environment but still little known to the public. The Geological Survey of Italy has organized a scientific conference, the Third International Workshop on sinkholes that has received a great reception, even in the media, attracting the participation of more than 500 scholars and experts both from Italy and the world.
During the meeting many events about natural and anthropogenic sinking were discussed, analyzing the geological context of the areas affected by these phenomena, inclulded intervention techniques and monitoring. In this volume are collected the main works presented during the conference. In particular, it is very important the first Map of susceptibility to anthropogenic subsidence of Rome territory as far as the GRA (Grande Raccordo Anulare), presented on this occasion and the Map of susceptibility to natural Lazio sinkholes, which will contribute to the enactment of a specific regional law defining both types and entities of studies preparatory to the edification in areas defined susceptible to these phenomena.
