The coastlines of Apulia (SE Italy) are intensely interested in the development of sinkhole processes related to the carbonated nature of the rocks, the generally low elevation, and the hydrogeological conditions of the coastal groundwater of this peninsula. Sinkholes are the main geohazard in the region, and particularly along the coasts, they represent the leading cause of economic losses to the tourist industry. In this contribution, we discuss the main events in southern Apulia, pointing to the geological and hydrogeological characteristics leading to sinkhole formation.

Abstract
The coastlines of Apulia (SE Italy) are intensely interested in the development of sinkhole processes related to the carbonated nature of the rocks, the generally low elevation, and the hydrogeological conditions of the coastal groundwater of this peninsula. Sinkholes are the main geohazard in the region, and particularly along the coasts, they represent the leading cause of economic losses to the tourist industry. In this contribution, we discuss the main events in southern Apulia, pointing to the geological and hydrogeological characteristics leading to sinkhole formation.File in questo prodotto:
