Climate change researchers argue that a residual domain exists beyond the limits of
adaptation to prevent deleterious climate change impacts: this has been labeled as “loss …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Evidence of fluid interaction with normal faults comes from their varied role as flow barriers
or conduits in hydrocarbon basins and as hosting structures for hydrothermal mineralisation …

The structure, frictional properties and permeability of faults within carbonate rocks exhibit a
dynamic interplay that controls both seismicity and the exchange of fluid between different …

We present a method that uses macroseismic intensity data to assess the location, physical
dimensions, and orientation of the source of large historical earthquakes. Intensity data …

A MW 6.3 earthquake struck on April 6, 2009 the Abruzzi region (central Italy) producing vast
damage in the L'Aquila town and surroundings. In this paper we present the location and …

ABSTRACT We present a 1: 25,000 scale map of the coseismic surface ruptures following
the 30 October 2016 M w 6.5 Norcia normal-faulting earthquake, central Italy. Detailed …

Geology-based methods for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) have been
developing in Italy. These methods require information on the geometric, kinematic and …

Recent earthquakes have shown that fault interaction can affect rupture sequences.
However, few criteria are currently available to determine which fault segments are strongly …

Recent high-intensity earthquakes, such as those occurred in L'Aquila (2009), Christchurch
(2010–2011) and Emilia Romagna (2012), have caused not only a significant death toll and …
