| Abstract | The Friuli Venezia Giulia Region is located in the NE part of Italy and covers an area of 7,858 km2. Here are present 221 municipalities of which approximately 40 coexist with geo-hazard problems associated to the existence of outcropping or mantled karstifiable rocks. Limestones and dolostones represent approximately 24% of the whole regional territory, whereas evaporite rocks do not exceed 1% (Figure 1). In all those areas, where evaporites and limestones outcrop or are mantled by quaternary deposits or other rock types, sinkholes Abstract Evaporite sinkholes represent a severe threat to many European countries, including Italy. Among the Italian regions, of the area most affected is the northern sector of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (NE Italy). Here chalks had two main depositional periods first in the Late Permian and then during the Late Carnian (Late Triassic). Evaporites outcrop mainly in the Alpine valleys or are partially mantled by Quaternary deposits, as occur along the Tagliamento River Valley. Furthermore, evaporites make up some portions of mountains and Alpine slopes, generating hundreds of karst depressions. |
