Quantification of earthquake diagnostic effects to assess low macroseismic intensities [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2020 AbstractA large amount of data about earthquake effects, supplied by citizens through a web-based questionnaire, enabled the analysis of the occurrence of many of the effects on humans and objects listed in macroseismic scales descriptions. Regarding the other diagnostic effects (rattling, moving, shifting, falling or overturning depending of the ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.This paper introduces a procedure to estimate moment magnitude (MW) in earthquake‐induced soil liquefaction probabilistic risk assessment. The method is based on using the historical seismicity modelled with a truncated Gutenberg‐Richter (G‐R) relation, jointly with an empirical model linking the MW to the maximum source‐to‐site distance at which soil ...

Beyond Deaths and Dollars: Modeling Requirements to Support Equity‐Focused Disaster Risk Management
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.The disaster risk modeling framework has long focused on quantifiable impact metrics to assess a hazard's potential direct effects, such as fatalities (deaths) and economic losses (dollars). Over time, as the framework has expanded to inform both public and private applications, additional impact metrics that more directly consider the societal roots ...

The recent 2007 Portugal earthquake (Mw=6.1) in the seismotectonic context of the SW Atlantic area [PDF]
, 2007 An event of magnitude Mw 6.1(EMSC) occurred on 12/02/2007 at 10:35 UTC off coast of South-Western Portugal. The earthquake had its epicentre in the eastern Horseshoe Abyssal Plain, at 175 km South-West of San Vicente Cape (Figure 1).

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Long‐term rates of crustal uplift in southern Calabria and NE Sicily are incompletely understood due to limited information about the age of marine terraces at 1.0–1.3 km above sea level (asl). This study provides a new constraint on high‐elevation terrace ages through integrated analysis of geochronology, stratigraphy, shoreline modeling, and

Annals of Geophysics, 1996 In contrast to the case of instrumental data, the procedures for epicentral parameter determination (coordinates and I0) from macroseismic data are not very well established. Although there are some "rules", upon which most seismologists agree (centre of

The vulnerability assessment of current buildings by a macroseismic approach derived from the EMS-98 scale [PDF]
, 2007 A hierarchical family of Damage Probability Matrices (DPM) has been derived in this paper from the ones implicitly contained in the EMS-98 Macroseismic Scale for 6 vulnerability classes. To this aim the linguistic definitions provided by the scale, and

Keeping the History in Historical Seismology: The 1872 Owens Valley, California Earthquake [PDF]
, 2008 The importance of historical earthquakes is being increasingly recognized. Careful investigations of key pre‐instrumental earthquakes can provide critical information and insights for not only seismic hazard assessment but also for earthquake science. In

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 15, Page 3828-3845, December 2025.ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...

SEISMIC HAZARD MAP FOR THE ITALIAN TERRITORY USING MACROSEISMIC DATA
Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2006 A seismic hazard map, in terms of macroseismic intensity, is proposed for the Italian continental territory and Sicily, which has a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years.
