A member of our team, Sotiris Sboras, has just defended his PhD Thesis entitled "The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources: seismotectonic implications for North Greece" at Ferrara University, Italy, supervised by Profs. Caputo and Pavlides. He was awarded the title of Doctor Europeus. Congrats Sotiris!

Paleoseismicity of the Mediterranean Region and surface faulting hazard in urban areas

9/4/2012

Comments

 
Dear Colleagues, 

we are pleased to advertise the scientific session listed below organized at 86=B0 Congresso Nazionale della Societa Geologica Italiana, 18-20 September 2012 (Rende , Cosenza - ITALIA) 
  
The deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2012.
  
Session TS2.2 - Paleoseismicity of the Mediterranean Region and surface faulting hazard in urban areas
Conveners: Cinti F., Cucci L., Michetti A.M., De Martini P.M., Roberts G. 

Description of the session:The 2011 was marked by destructive seismic events in New Zealand and Japan. These events and their impact were "unexpected", occurring on a previously unknown fault crossing an urban area and based on an underestimation of tsunami potential, respectively. The scenarios of destruction remarked the need of the convergence of accurate historical, geological, and paleoseismic detection to evidence pre-instrumental traces of the earthquakes effects and raises again the discussion among seismologists, geologists and engineers on the most effective strategies and methodologies to adopt for an always more complete knowledge of the earthquakes sources, and for the risks mitigation induced by seismic releases on civil buildings, critical social structure and infrastructures. 

This session invites contributions on co-seismic deformation studies within urban areas, including both the direct and indirect coseismic effects (i.e. surface faulting, tsunami inundation, uplift and subsidence, liquefaction, landslides) repeatedly affecting the whole Mediterranean area, and on the evaluation of the associated hazard through different techniques of investigation and monitoring (geological, paleo- and archeo-seismological, geophysical, geotechnical, and remote sensing). A discussion on the existing laws for land planning is also promoted. The high seismic hazard of Calabria brings these issues to a critical level of attention, then case of studies in this region are solicited among other critical cases of the Mediterranean region where intense urbanization is strongly developed in internal and coastal portion. 

Thanks for your attention and we hope to meet you in Rende

After the very successful 2nd Workshop on Earthquake Archaeology and Paleoseismology in Corinth, Greece, in 2011 with almost 120 participants from 27 different countries, we are going to organize the 3rd Workshop in Morelia / Mexico during the next autumn (19th-24th November 2012). This is a joint initiative of the INQUA International Focus Group on Paleoseismology and Active Tectonics and the IGCP-567 “Earthquake Archaeology”.

The workshop will be thematic and several outstanding organizations support the event, INQUA, IGCP-567, and ISSCIAEA. Local supporting is provided by the Michoacan University of Morelia, Mexican Geological Survey (SGM), Geological Society of Mexico, Comisión Federal de Electricidad, Michoacan College, Municipalities of Morelia and Acambay. Federal Government of Mexico, Michoacan State Government. External supporting is also provided by the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME), University of Salamanca (USAL, Spain), RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and the Spanish Society for Quaternary Research (AEQUA)

The workshop aims in the dissemination of the Environmental Seismic IntensityScale (ESI-2007), the completion of the Earthquake Environmental Effects EEE-Catalogue, as well as the application of paleoseismological and  archeoseismological studies to case histories and critical facilities.
