Abstract
In the last years, the activities of Working Groups (WGs), in the framework of Italian Association of Physical Geography and Geomorphology (AIGeo), were aimed at the new issue of the legend of the Italian Geomorphological Map. The activities were performed keeping in mind the necessity: 1) to add new symbols because the great progress made in geomorphology, in terms of new knowledge on geomorphological processes and landforms, after the first issue of the legend in 1994; 2) to have a legend usable with large scale maps, suitable for applied purposes; 3) to create a legend usable with softwares (GIS environment, etc). The WG on Coastal Morphodynamics contributed to this work, as well, promoting, through meetings and workshops, the debate among the Italian coastal geomorphologists on the approach needed to produce a modern geomorphological legend. The classic dichotomy forms-processes used in the geomorphological mapping is often based to static concepts, especially when applied to marine and coastal areas, affected by fast dynamic events, sometimes paroxysmal. We present the new geomorphological legend to represent both coastal and underwater contexts, aimed to the improvement of classic geomorphological legends. The main goal of the work was the production of a legend suitable to clarify the importance and the need of representing landforms in the context ofthe Quaternary evolution, as well as from more recent or modern processes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
