Integrating macroseismic intensity distributions by a probabilistic approach: an application in Italy

, 2021
. The geographic distribution of earthquake effects quantified in terms of macroseismic intensities, the so-called macroseismic field, provides basic information for several scopes including source characterization of pre-instrumental earthquakes and ...

Seismic scenarios and assessment of intensity: some criteria for the use of the MCS scale

Annals of Geophysics, 2000
The macroseismic scale used for the classification of the more than 33100 seismic effects of the Catalogue of Strong Italian Earthquakes (CFTI3) is the Mercalli Cancani Sieberg (MCS).

A thorough review of the 5 May 1990 Potenza (Southern Italy) earthquake: constraints from macroseismology and insights from hydrology [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
The Potenza earthquake of 5 May 1990 (Mw 5.77) was a significant event for southern Italy, despite its moderate magnitude and limited damage. Previous macroseismic studies of this earthquake contained inconsistent and often exaggerated macroseismic ...

Estimating the upper limit of prehistoric peak ground acceleration using an in situ, intact and vulnerable stalagmite from Plavecka priepast cave (Detrekoi-zsomboly), Little Carpathians, Slovakia-first results [PDF]

, 2017
Earthquakes hit urban centres in Europe infrequently, but occasionally with disastrous effects. Obtaining an unbiased view of seismic hazard (and risk) is therefore very important.

Nuove evidenze di correlazione tra l'attenuazione macrosismica ed i campi di lineamenti strutturali nell'Italia meridionale

Annals of Geophysics, 1982
The analysis of a large number of macroseismic fields of past and recent<br />earthquakes in Southern Italy allows a wider check of a previous interpretative<br />model of the anisotropy of the regional macroseismic field, in the context of a

A WebGIS tool for the dissemination of earthquake data [PDF]

, 2006
In 2004 a new seismic hazard map of Italy (MPS Working Group, 2004) has been released by a task force that produced an amount of new or updated data, such as a new version of the earthquake catalogue (CPTI04; CPTI Working Group, 2004) and an updated ...

New relationships between macroseismic intensity and local magnitude for the volcanic region of Mt. Etna (Italy)

Journal of Seismology
The volcanic region of Mt. Etna (Italy) has a well-documented historical seismic activity, with records of seismic and volcanic events on the volcano dating back to late 1633.
