    Paleoearthquakes of the Düzce fault (North Anatolian Fault Zone): implications for earthquake recurrence (2006)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The November 12, 1999, Mw 7.1 earthquake, ruptured the Düzce segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and produced ca. 40 km-long surface ruptures. To learn about recurrence of large surface faulting earthquakes on this fault, we undertook paleoseismological trench investigations. We found evidence for repeated surface faulting paleoearthquakes pre-dating the 1999 event. Dating was based on radiocarbon and 210Pb analyses as well as on archaeological considerations. By merging information obtained from all the trenches we reconstructed the seismic history of the Düzce fault for the past millennium. We correlated coeval events between different trench sites under the assumption that, similarly to the 1999 event, paleoearthquakes ruptured the whole Düzce fault. Besides the 1999 earthquake, prior surface faulting earthquakes are dated as follows: AD1685-1900 (possibly end of 19th century); AD1685-1900 (possibly close to AD 1700); AD1185-1640; AD685-1220 (possibly AD800-1000). Thus, the AD1719, AD1878 and AD1894 historical earthquakes, may have ruptured the Düzce fault and not the faults they are usually associated to or, alternatively, a cascade of events occurred on the Düzce and nearby faults (similarly to the Izmit and Düzce 1999 earthquakes). Five events since AD 685-1220 (possibly AD800-1000), would yield an average recurrence time for the Düzce fault, of 200-325 yr (possibly 250-300 yr). The three most recent earthquakes, including 1999, occurred within 300 yr and may be suggestive of clustering. Assuming that the average 1999 slip is characteristic for this fault, the above recurrence times yield slip rates of 6.7-13.5 mm/yr.

    Paleoearthquakes of the Düzce fault (North Anatolian Fault Zone): insights for earthquake recurrence (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The November 12, 1999, Mw 7.1 earthquake, ruptured the Düzce segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and produced a ca. 40 km-long surface rupture. To improve knowledge about earthquake recurrence on this fault, we undertook paleoseismological trench investigations. We found evidence for repeated surface faulting paleoearthquakes pre-dating the 1999 event during the past millennium. Dating was based on radiocarbon, 210Pb analyses, and archaeological considerations. In addition to the 1999 earthquake, prior surface faulting earthquakes are dated as follows: AD1685-1900 (possibly end of 19th century); AD1495-1700; AD685-1020 (possibly AD890-1020). The AD967 and AD1878 historical earthquakes are good candidates to have ruptured the Düzce fault correlating with the oldest and penultimate paleoearthquakes. No obvious correlation for the third paleoearthquake (AD1495-1700) exists. These results shows that the Düzce fault considerably participates, along with the parallel Mudurnu fault sections, in the seismogenic deformation taking place along this part of the North Anatolian Fault. Four events since AD 685-1020 (possibly AD890-1020), would yield an average recurrence time for the Düzce fault of 330-430 yr (possibly 330-370 yr). The three most recent earthquakes, including 1999, occurred within 500 yr. Merging results from other paleoseismological studies along the Düzce fault show a consistency of results and yields average recurrence times for the past 2000 yr of 320-390 yr. Assuming that the 1999 slip (2.7 m average, 5 m maximum) is representative of the behavior of this fault, the above recurrence times yield a reference figure of fault slip rate in the range 6.9-15.6 mm/yr.

    ScienzAperta, an outreach week about Earth Science at INGV (2013)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Scientific exhibitions, hands-on laboratories for kids, meetings and seminars with researchers, guided tours to laboratories are the ingredients for the outreach week "ScienzAperta" at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). ScienzAperta, the Open Science Week, responds to the needs and the request of the society for more information on issues regarding our Planet. The common goal is to engage INGV researchers to be involved in a correct, straightforward and efficient communication to public about research and technological innovations they perform. In a world that request citizens to be more informed, aware and able to make crucial decisions about their own health and safety, the knowledge is crucial to handle doubts and to know how to choose with consciousness. Since 2011, ScienzAperta held once per year during spring; several INGV headquaters over the Italian territory open their doors to public. The goal is to help raise awareness about earth sciences, and research activities at INGV, as well as intrigue, interest, and stimulate audiences of all ages. Researchers and technicians involved in outreach activities conceive scientific programs to present research as the heritage of all. Some activities were organized in collaboration with other institutions and with transdisciplinary approaches. For example in 2011 edition, in collaboration with Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca per gli Alimenti (INRAN), geophysics and nutrition sciences were linked through geodynamic evolution and diet evolution of the Mediterranean. In all the past three editions music-based initiatives were designed to attract young people as well as generic public, such as the performances "seismic waves, sound waves, from earthquake to music", "musical journey of Italian earthquakes", "waves, sympathy and music", "landscapes, territory and wines". The ScienzAperta programs were designed giving special attention to pupils and teachers. Hand-on laboratories for kids on earthquakes, volcanoes, and also on INGV researches in Antarctica were organized, and achieved great participation and appreciation. Analysis of questionnaires distributed among adult visitors and children during an Open Saturday in 2013 in Rome provided hints to improve the outreach event format. Acquired pieces of information were perceived as useful to get more in depth with the topics by mostly all adult visitors; nothing was perceived as not clear, appreciation comments came as well as invitations to repeat such events more frequently; children perceived the games as very interesting, very useful and well organized, but in some cases the notions not so easy to be understood.

    Questo caldo, caldo, caldo mondo (2011)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: La mostra consente fin dal suo inizio di “entrare” nel mondo degli spettacolari fenomeni geotermici. Immagini di geyser, pozze di fango ribollente, fumarole, acque termali dai colori più improbabili, incrostazioni multicolori e affascinanti cristalli, provenienti da varie parti del mondo accompagneranno i visitatori alla scoperta delle caratteristiche naturalistiche del fenomeno. Ad arricchire l'esposizione iniziale curata da Vulcano Esplorazioni, un video con immagini raccolte in varie parti del pianeta, eccezionali campioni di minerali di origine idrotermale provenienti dal Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano e diorami esplicativi, in scala e ridotti. Ricostruzioni, schemi ed exhibit facilitano la comprensione del meccanismo fisico che scatena questi fenomeni. La parte scientifica, curata in particolare dall’INGV, ripercorre anche le esperienze pionieristiche di Larderello, ricostruendo il primo esperimento del 1904 di produzione di energia elettrica da vapore geotermico. Il percorso museale illustra anche il grande potenziale energetico presente soprattutto in Italia, il paese più caldo d'Europa, offerto dal calore della Terra, un’energia rinnovabile e pulita. L'esibizione termina con uno spettacolare filmato in 3D.

    Bringing Earth into the scene of a primary school: a science theatre experiment (2015)
    Sage Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Studies have shown that narrative is a valid tool to transmit science in a school context (Negrete&Lartigue 2010). We explored science theatre to promote earthquake knowledge and risk preparedness by readapting an old legend describing the 1908 Messina earthquake into a script, which was then performed in a primary school. We evaluated the experience by designing a questionnaire inspired by the Düss Fairy Tales method and a semi-structured questionnaire. Preliminary results strongly encourage science theatre as a mean to transfer knowledge and opens new opportunities to use this method as an agent of change in behaviour before and during an earthquake.

    Science, technology and inventions: Children draw their own visions (2013)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Italian primary schools participated with enthusiasm to the drawing competition “I'm a scientists too! Science and scientists from the children point of view” organized by the Laboratorio di Didattica e Divulgazione Scientifica of Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia in Rome, Italy. The best drawings were awarded and published in the 2011 school calendar. Children were asked to realize a drawing, choosing among three suggestions: 1) How do you imagine a scientist and how do you imagine the daily activities of a researcher? 2) What invention do you consider the most important among all those you know? 3) What would you invent? The topic “invention” (#3) was the most successful. In fact, among the collected 1,000 drawings, 400 drawings depict scientists, nearly 150 depict scientists with their inventions, and other 350 depict inventions alone. A classification scheme was designed in order to synthetically describe this set of images and analyze it. The Draw-A-Scientist scheme, known from literature, was mantained but modified in order to characterize both inventors and inventions. As regard scientists, a preliminary analysis reveals a persistent gender stereotype, since most of depicted persons were male and nearly half of girls draw men scientists. The image of “mad scientist” is still present but it is mainly related to men. Women scientists are drawn by girls; they are represented as young, not crazy, usually good-looking. There are no particular differences between boys and girls in assigning research fields to scientists. Women scientists are often depicted as assistants, but when alone they are self-confident enough to give their name to an invention or to aspire for Nobel Prize. In this work we present the preliminary analysis performed on drawings containing inventions. What do girls and boys 6 to 11 years old invent? Robots, helping in housekeeping or in doing homework; rockets, space vehicles and time machines, but also fictional machines and hybridized animals, devices helping in human caring or having impact on the environment for a better quality of life. In general, the preferred subjects refer to something useful with respect to things we do in everyday life but also fancy devices, for which imagination runs wild. Inventions can include something useful to individuals or to a community, being something totally new, or already existing, but improved, combined or transformed; being a device or part of the natural environment or of the human body; they can involve several dimensions of living, like eating, transporting, entertainment, work. Do girls and boys conceive different inventions? What do they invent with respect to the Earth Sciences and natural environment? Which are the relationships with the outreach programs organized and performed by INGV?

    Science and scientists from the children point of view, an overlook from drawings (2013)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) is currently the largest European scientific institution dealing with Earth Sciences research and real-time surveillance, early warning, and forecast activities in geo- physics and volcanology. The Laboratorio Didattica e Divulgazione Scientifica of INGV organizes every year educational and outreach activities with schools of different levels and with general public to convey scientific knowledge and to promote the Research on Earth Science, focusing on volcanic and seismic hazard. Among the most successful initiatives is the creation of a calendar designed for the schools and realized based on a competition devoted to children of primary school. The intent is to provide a pleasant stimulus for discussion for teachers and students. Schools participate with enthusiasm by sending drawings made by children on a specified theme, different each year, chosen among geophysics and earth sciences arguments. For 2011, the theme was selected also with the aims to investigate on the image the young generations have of the Research and on its potential and future prospective. The title was “Scienziato anche io! La Scienza e gli scienziati visti dai bambini” (I’m a scientist too! Science and scientists from the children point of view), with the purpose of give a shape to the image children have of the world of science, its potential and the figure of the scientists. We asked the children to realized a draw suggesting some possible arguments between: 1. How do you imagine a scientist? How do you imagine the daily activities of a researcher? 2. What is the invention you consider the most important among all those you know? 3. What would you invent? The 986 drawings realized by 6 up to 10 years old boys and girls from 48 schools distributed throughout the Italian territory, report us a generally positive picture of the work of scientists and also highlight a great level of confidence in the potential of science, capable to respond to needs and problems of the humanity and of the environment in which we live. Moreover, the drawings provide us a direct and unconventional approach to point out how we convey the scientific research (a strategic topic for a suitable future of the humanity) to the players of the world of tomorrow.

    “Scientist as a game”: Learning geoscience via competitive activities (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Nowadays, science communication is seen as one of the major challenges that research institutions are required to face. The strategies to attract public interest, the choice of the correct language, and the tools to trigger curiosity are a matter of debate. Research claims a concerning disaffection in older students toward science, which suggests that children are one of the major targets to whom the world of science and research should appeal. “Scientist as a game” is an experience of a hands-on approach that is combined with game-related challenges in the field of geoscience, where effective teaching methods require extensive research. This activity was held for the first time in the ‘A. Doria’ Civic Natural Science Museum in Genova (Italy) as an open day laboratory, and it was linked to an interactive exhibition realized by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia. We set up four laboratory activities that were focused on: (1) where and why earthquakes and eruptions occur on Earth; (2) how volcanoes happen; (3) what the effect of shaking on buildings is; and (4) how to behave correctly in the case of an earthquake. Children were teamed up to score points according to the challenges included within each activity. The feedback of this experience was very positive, as shown by the questionnaires handed out to the participants immediately after each activity, and it reinforces the reviewed research on using games and hands-on activities in education.
