Abstract
A first inventory of landslides responsible for river damming in Campania region (Italy) is here presented. Based upon archival research, cartography analysis, air-photo interpretation and field survey, thirty-six landslide dams have been recognized, along with four dams related to mixed fans. The inventoried cases have been classified according to the existing schemes; however, considering the peculiar features of the case studies, some new dam types have been introduced. Finally, a basic statistical analysis has been carried out, which revealed a good correlation among some environmental and geomorphometric variables. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
