Review

This paper proposes to present an applied geomorphological mapping effort focused on a coastal environment, specifically within Liguria, Italy. The title suggests a valuable contribution, emphasizing both the "experience" gained and the "validation" of the mapping techniques. Given the increasing pressures on coastal zones globally, studies that blend practical application with methodological rigor in specific regional contexts are highly relevant. The focus on Liguria offers the potential for region-specific insights into Mediterranean coastal dynamics, which could be of interest to local stakeholders and the broader geomorphological community. The potential strengths of this work, as implied by the title, lie in its practical orientation and the promised validation. An "applied" approach often translates to actionable data and tools for coastal zone management, hazard assessment, or environmental planning. The inclusion of "experience" suggests a deep understanding of the challenges and nuances of mapping in complex coastal settings, potentially offering novel strategies or refinements to existing methodologies. Furthermore, the explicit mention of "validation" is critical, as it implies a rigorous assessment of the accuracy, reliability, and utility of the mapping products, moving beyond mere description to a scientifically robust evaluation. However, a comprehensive review of this manuscript is severely constrained by the absence of an abstract. Without this crucial component, it is impossible to assess the specific methodologies employed, the nature of the data sources, the scale of the mapping, the criteria or methods used for "validation," or the key findings and their implications. To properly evaluate this work, an abstract would need to articulate: the specific objectives, the geological and geomorphological context, the techniques applied (e.g., remote sensing, field surveys, GIS analysis), the quantitative or qualitative metrics used for validation, the principal results, and the main conclusions regarding the effectiveness and applicability of the mapping approach for coastal environments in Liguria and potentially beyond.
