- Abstract
This proposed legend for applied geomorphology, aims to unify the various methods of cartographic representation of natural and anthropic phenomena for hazard assessment related to the morphogenetic processes in risk and vulnerability conditions. The legend is organized to be used extensively, not only by researchers but also by professionals, in order to prepare thematic maps for environmental studies, soil protection, and land use planning. In this legend landforms and deposits are distinguished according to their morphogenetic agents, mechanisms and activity (active, dormant, inactive). There is also information on linear and spatial dimensions and volumetric and chronologic data. Some data and representations of surface deposits are also given based on their texture, thickness, form, etc. For correct use of the proposed symbols, the legend is completed by Explanatory notes. Case studies are also presented to show how the legend can be used in various Italian environments
