Residual mechanisms and kinematics of the relict Lemeglio coastal landslide (Liguria, northwestern Italy)

Among principal outcomes is the recognition, by field observations, stratigraphic and inclinometer data as well as slope stability modelling, of a basal sheared and softened band, made chiefly of remoulded mudrocks, which constrains the current landslide failure surface. Such basal band can be considered an inherited landslide structure, formed during the original paroxysmal stage of the Lemeglio landslide, which controls the current residual kinematics of the landslide deposits throughout the foot, depending also on the coastal marine erosion acting along the landslide toe.
