Abstract: Geomorphological field surveys and mapping have been carried out in a catchment of the Dolomites (eastern Italian Alps) as part of a research project aiming at the assessment of sediment availability for mass wasting in mountain environments. The study area is the Liera catchment which was severely affected by a high-intensity, regional-scale storm named ‘Vaia’ (27–30 October 2018), which induced relevant morphological changes, caused a major flood in the main stream and triggered debris flows in many tributaries. This contribution gives a snapshot of the present-day state of the study area to improve the understanding of such a landscape by characterizing the processes that control its geomorphological spatio-temporal dynamics and evolution.
