Description

The RISCHiA-Re database is a regional-scale inventory of shallow-water submarine landslides (< 100 m of depth), targeting seafloor sectors generally considered morphologically stable and not particularly prone to slope failure. The dataset includes 27 morphometric parameters of 90 landslides depicted along the Campania continental margin (Southern Italy, eastern Tyrrhenian Sea), a region characterized by active volcanism and seismicity. 

The RISCHiA-Re database provides a reliable resource to accomplish quantitative and comparative studies, to support hazard assessment and landslide susceptibility analysis, and to give a small contribution to the understanding of shallow-water landslide phenomena.

RISCHiA-Re Database – Description of Files
This repository contains datasets related to shallow-water submarine landslides (whose acme lies at depth shallower than -100 m), mapped offshore of the Campania coast (Southern Italy, Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea). The dataset includes landslide morphometric parameters, mapped features, and metadata. The contents are organized as follows:

Morphometric Parameters
* File: Rischiare_database.xls; * Description: Contains quantitative morphometric parameters for landslide scar crowns and landslide source areas.
* Format: Microsoft Excel (.xls)

Mapped Landslide Features 
* ESRI shape Files: * Description: These files can be loaded into GIS software for spatial analysis and visualization. Each feature is associated with attributes by a primary key named “ID” 

* Metadata
Metadata were created in QGIS in accordance with the international ISO 19115 standard and ISO 19139 XML schema for digital representation.
* File: RISCHiA-Re metadata.pdf;* Description: Provides detailed information on dataset content, acquisition methods, units, and field descriptions.
