ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of the 2021 and 2022 field activities carried out at San Nicola Island (Tremiti Islands, Southern Adriatic Sea) by two groups of students as part of the Environmental Geomorphology Field Mapping course held within the Master's Degree in Geological Sciences and Technologies of Earth and Planets at University ‘G. d'Annunzio’ of Chieti-Pescara. Field activities were carried out following an integrated approach that involved morphometric, geological, and geomorphological analyses, supported by the combination of traditional methods with modern survey instruments and techniques. The Main Map (1:2,500 scale) comprehensively depicts the landscape of San Nicola Island, which is affected by both long- and short-term evolutionary processes, as witnessed by widespread slope landforms. The cartographic products presented in this work can represent a useful tool in territorial planning and management, as well as a valuable base for further scientific studies.
