The new geomorphological map of the area of Mt. Cimone (Northern Apennines, Italy)

This abstract describes a new geomorphological map implemented in the area of Mt. Cimone which is located in the high Apennines of Modena Province, Italy. The Mt. Cimone, which attains the altitude of 2165 m a.s.l. (the highest peak of the Northern Apennines), is one of the most important winter and summer tourism resorts of the entire Apennines. The landforms and deposits of the study area may be mainly defined according to the following groups of morphogenetic factors and processes: glacial landforms and deposits, cryogenetic and nivation landforms and deposits, structural landforms, slope landforms and deposits due to gravity; landforms and deposits due to running water, anthropogenic landforms; they are shown in a new geomorphological map at the 1:10,000 scale
