New simulations and understanding of the 1908 Messina tsunami for a dual seismic and deep submarine mass failure source
Over 100 years after the event, the mechanism of the 1908 Messina tsunami remains
unresolved. The up to 12 m runups observed along the coasts of Sicily and Calabria cannot …

Reappraisal and analysis of macroseismic data for seismotectonic purposes: The strong earthquakes of southern Calabria, Italy
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 …
