The earthquake size distribution is described by an exponential function governed by the b-
value parameter. It has already been proven that the b-value depends on the differential …

The prompt identification of faults responsible for moderate‐to‐large earthquakes is
fundamental for understanding the likelihood of further, potentially damaging events. This is …

QUIN database integrates and organizes structural-geological information from published
and unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies. The initial …

In tectonically active areas, such as the Italian peninsula, studying the faults responsible for
strong earthquakes is often challenging, especially when the earthquakes occurred in …

The frontal thrusts and folds of the northern Apennines-Italy-are mainly covered under the
alluvial deposits of the Po Plain. Some of these structures show geological evidence of Late …

The new generation seismic hazard maps use 3D seismotectonic fault models, which are
more consistent with the actual nature of faults, whereas the classical models based on …

The systematic study of faults that have released strong earthquakes in the past is a
challenge for seismic hazard assessment. In carbonate landscapes, the use of rare earth …

We present the first rupture models of the two mainshocks of the 2012 northern Italy
sequence, determined by jointly inverting seismic and geodetic data. We aim at providing …

Fluvial terraces are a pre-eminent continental record of climate changes and tectonics.
Although the use of fill terraces for incision rate derivation is complicated due to their cyclical …

The Late Pliocene–Quaternary Outer Thrust System of the Apennine-Maghrebides fold-and-
thrust belt extends~ 2000 km from northern Italy to Sicily. Its northernmost arc is seismically …
