This work describes the geomorphological dynamics observed over more than one century, for the Tyrrhenian and Ionian beaches of Calabria, which extends for more than 690 km of the total shore length of about 736 km. The coastal evolution has been investigated by means of maps, aerial photographs and direct field surveys, using a very detailed scale (1:10,000); the results are summarized in a set of maps showing the linear changes of the beaches. In addition, on the basis of geomorphological studies, anemometry and pluviometry, an attempt has been made to define thoroughly both natural and anthropogenic causes of these variations.

Abstract
This work describes the geomorphological dynamics observed over more than one century, for the Tyrrhenian and Ionian beaches of Calabria, which extends for more than 690 km of the total shore length of about 736 km. The coastal evolution has been investigated by means of maps, aerial photographs and direct field surveys, using a very detailed scale (1:10,000); the results are summarized in a set of maps showing the linear changes of the beaches. In addition, on the basis of geomorphological studies, anemometry and pluviometry, an attempt has been made to define thoroughly both natural and anthropogenic causes of these variations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
