Data sets

Measurements of deformation in fractured volcanic tuffs, Coroglio coastal cliff, Naples, Italy F. Matano, M. Caccavale, and M. Sacchi https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.896000

Continuous meteorological monitoring at Cape Posillipo (Denza Institute weather station - Naples - Campania Region - Italy) during the period January 2014 - December 2018 A. Fortelli, F. Matano, and M. Sacchi https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.899562

Short summary

Along the coastline of the Phlegraean Fields, Naples, Italy, severe retreat processes affect the tuff coastal cliffs, causing hazardous slope failures. An integrated monitoring system coupled with a weather station has been active since 2014. The measurements allowed us to assess the magnitude and temporal pattern of rock block deformations before failure and their correlation with meteorological parameters. A close correlation between temperature and deformation trends has been recognized.
