Abstract
⺠We investigate the controls on landsliding in the orogens of Peloritani and Aspromonte. ⺠These landscapes have similar lithology and climate, but different tectonic settings. ⺠Landslides are mapped from aerial photographs, supplemented by field observations. ⺠The landslide distribution in Peloritani is governed by faults lowering rock mass strength. ⺠Aspromonte landslides are caused by undermining of valley walls by fluvial incision.
