Several cities in Europe are coming around to a culture of risk-integrated management and assessment at national and city scale. Risk management is a process that covers a series of actions that…
A Geospatial Decision Support Tool for Seismic Risk Management: Florence (Italy) Case Study
- GeologyICCSA
- 2017
A Decision Support System DSS developed by ENEA, APIC Lab, in the framework of the EU-funded project CIPRNet was used to simulate the seismic and impact scenarios for two major historical earthquakes felt in Florence, to assess the earthquake-induced damage at single building level, and the relative expected consequences on population.
Historical earthquake research in Austria
- GeologyGeoscience Letters

Subsurface cavities or stiff inclusions represent mechanical discontinuities for seismic waves propagating in soils. They modify the propagation pattern of seismic waves and alter soil response in…
Buried active faults in the Zafferana Etnea territory (south-eastern flank of Mt. Etna): geometry and kinematics by earthquake relocation and focal mechanisms
- Geology
- 2013
We relocated seismicity that occurred from 2000 to 2005 inside a sector of Mt. Etna, comprising the town of Zafferana Etnea, using the double-difference technique. This approach revealed some spatial…
