    Description: Il progetto di ASL “Studiare i terremoti con un sismografo didattico” ha come obiettivo la sensibilizzazione degli studenti sui temi della pericolosità e del rischio sismico tramite un coinvolgimento attivo nello studio dei terremoti. I temi che riguardano la prevenzione del rischio sismico sono infatti solitamente trattati nelle scuole attraverso i canali tradizionali della divulgazione scientifica, ovvero tramite seminari e conferenze in cui gli studenti svolgono esclusivamente un ruolo passivo. Tuttavia numerosi studi sulla didattica delle materie scientifiche [Struyf et al., 2019; Anderson, 2007; Brush & Sye, 2000] evidenziano il contributo positivo delle attività pratiche nell’apprendimento delle 74 discipline STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics). Lo scopo principale di questo progetto è rendere gli studenti protagonisti di un processo cognitivo caratterizzato dall’esperienza diretta che rappresenta un modo efficace per consolidare l’apprendimento nel medio e lungo termine [Liu et al., 2011]. Il progetto si divide in due task principali: la costruzione di un sismometro orizzontale (garden gate) e la formazione di competenze informatiche e sismologiche per acquisire ed elaborare i segnali sismici. È stato concepito come progetto pilota di uno piú ampio e ambizioso per realizzare una rete sismometrica scolastica. Il progetto del sismometro, basato sull’utilizzo di piattaforme hardware e software open source, potrebbe infatti essere replicato con costi contenuti e installato in altre scuole del territorio regionale o nazionale. Il successo della sismologia in ambito scolastico è testimoniata dal diffondersi di esperienze analoghe che, negli ultimi anni, sono state condotte principalmente all’estero: ad esempio i progetti PEPP ­ Princeton Earth Physics Project (USA) [Steinberg and Phinney, 2000], EduSeis ­ The Educational Seismograph Project (Francia, Italia) [Cantore et al., 2005], O3E ­ Observation de l’Environnement à but Éducatif pour l’École (Francia) [Aufeuvre et al., 2009], SAE ­ Sismos à l’Ecole (Francia) [Courboulex et al., 2012], Seismology at School (Regno Unito) [Denton, 2008] e più recentemente AuSIS ­ The Australian Seismometers in Schools (Australia) [Balfour et al., 2014]. Queste iniziative hanno evidenziato estremo entusiasmo da parte di docenti e studenti verso il monitoraggio sismico a carattere didattico anche in territori in cui l’attività sismica è molto sporadica. La scuola che ha aderito alla proposta è il Polo Scientifico Tecnico Professionale E. Fermi – G. Giorgi di Lucca che comprende sia Liceo Scientifico che Istituti Tecnici con indirizzi di meccanica, elettronica e informatica. Questa pluralità di indirizzi ha consentito di individuare studenti con le competenze necessarie alla realizzazione del progetto. Un gruppo ristretto di alunni selezionati tra le classi V degli Istituti tecnici ha curato la messa in opera del sismometro mentre gli studenti di una intera classe IV del Liceo scientifico hanno seguito lezioni per acquisire competenze sull’analisi del segnale sismico. Il progetto ha avuto un successo parziale. Il sismometro è stato progettato e realizzato in tutte le sue componenti e la scuola ha finanziato la costruzione di due copie del prototipo. Gli strumenti sono stati presentati in occasione della Notte Europea dei Ricercatori a Lucca nel Settembre 2019. Tuttavia l’installazione dei sismometri all’interno del plesso scolastico non è stata ancora completata. Il lavoro svolto con la classe del Liceo Scientifico è stato meno produttivo. Le principali motivazioni che hanno impedito di conseguire i risultati attesi sono: la scarsa motivazione degli studenti, le difficoltà tecniche incontrate per effettuare le lezioni di informatica per l’analisi dei segnali sismici, un numero insufficiente di ore per acquisire le competenze base di programmazione. Teniamo a precisare inoltre che, nel pieno dello spirito dei progetti “Alternanza Scuola Lavoro” e come coronamento del progetto, uno degli studenti che hanno preso parte alla progettazione del sismometro è risultato vincitore di un bando di selezione e quindi assunto come collaboratore tecnico a tempo determinato presso la Sezione di Pisa dell’INGV.

    Description: A catalogue of precisely located micro-seismicity is fundamental for investigating seismicity and rock physical properties in active tectonic and volcanic regions and for the definition of a ‘baseline’ seismicity, required for a safe future exploitation of georesource areas. In this study, we produce the first manually revised catalogue of micro-seismicity for Co. Donegal region (Ireland), an area of about 50K M2 of on-going deformation, aimed at localizing natural micro-seismic events occurred between 2012 and 2015. We develop a stochastic method based on a Markov chain Monte Carlo (McMC) sampling approach to compute earthquake hypocentral location parameters. Our results indicates that micro-seismicity is present with magnitudes lower than 2 (the highest magnitude is 2.8).The recorded seismicity is almost clustered along previously mapped NE-SW trending, steeply dipping faults and confined within the upper crust (focal depth less than 10 km). We also recorded anthropogenic seismicity mostly related to quarries' activity in the study area.

    Description: We discuss two competing models for explaining the ground deformation associated with normal faulting earthquake in the brittle elastic upper crust. The classic elastic rebound theory is usually applied for all tectonic settings. In normal fault earthquakes, this model would predict a horizontal stretching eventually responsible for the elastic rebound at the earthquake. However, volumes mostly subside vertically during an extensional earthquake and the collapsed ground in the hanging wall is about one order of magnitude larger than the uplifted volumes of the surrounding hanging wall and footwall. The elastic rebound model would explain this asymmetry with a high horizontal elastic compressibility of the hanging wall and footwall absorbing the coseismic push. We rather suggest that the force activating normal fault earthquakes is mostly dictated by the sliding of the hanging wall, owing gravitational potential. The much larger coseismic subsidence with respect to the uplift can be explained by the closure at depth of a diffuse network of microfractures developed during the interseismic period. Since the horizontal stretching does not exist below ~1 km of depth, with the minimum horizontal stress tensor becoming positive below that depth, the development of a normal fault can be activated only by the vertical maximum stress tensor, i.e., the lithostatic load. The common fluids expulsion at the coseismic stage requires diffuse secondary permeability in the upper crust, in agreement with the presence of a diffuse network of microfractures.

    Description: Novel measurement technologies, additional sensors and increasing data processing capacities offer new opportunities to answer some of the currently most pressing societal and environmental questions. They also contribute to the fact that the available data volume will continue to increase. At the same time, the requirements for those providing such data rise and the needs of users to access it. The EPOS Delivery Framework aims to support this endeavour in the solid Earth domain by providing access to data, products, and services supporting multidisciplinary analyses for a wide range of users. Based on this example, we look at the most pressing issues from when data, products, and services are made accessible, to access principles, ethical issues related to its collection and use as well as with respect to their promotion. Among many peculiarities, we shed light on a common component that affects all fields equally: change. Not only will the amount and type of data, products, and services change, but so will the societal expectations and providers capabilities.

    Description: This research was inspired by an old stereoscopic viewer from the early 1900s, containing 42 glass slides depicting scenes from two Italian earthquakes that struck Southern Calabria and Eastern Sicily in the years 1894 and 1905, causing hundreds of deaths, but whose memory was blurred by the subsequent, great earthquake of the Messina Straits of December 28, 1908. The sequence of three-dimensional images shown by the viewer gave a deep and realistic visual impact to scenes of collapses, debris, and victims, arousing feelings of dismay. In this work, we describe the viewer apparatus; the places depicted in the stereoscopic plates, and the seismic phenomena that caused the disasters. But above all, we investigate the social and cultural aims that pushed to show the effects of local earthquakes through this kind of primitive multimedia mechanism. We exclude that the viewer, with its photographic equipment, was merely an instrument of entertainment. We rather assume that it carried out an educational task. The repetition of the sequence of tragic images of earthquakes through the stereoscopic viewer had the purpose of contributing to give awareness of the looming seismic risk and to accept rationally those recurring disasters.

    Description: We explore the three‐dimensional structure of the 2016–2017 Central Italy sequence using ~34,000 ML ≥ 1.5 earthquakes that occurred between August 2016 and January 2018. We applied cross‐correlation and double‐difference location methods to waveform and parametric data routinely produced at the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. The sequence activated an 80 km long system of normal faults and near‐horizontal detachment faults through the MW 6.0 Amatrice, the MW 5.9 Visso, and the MW 6.5 Norcia mainshocks and aftershocks. The system has an average strike of N155°E and dips 38°–55° southwestward and is segmented into 15–30 km long faults individually activated by the cascade of MW ≥ 5.0 shocks. The two main normal fault segments, Mt. Vettore‐Mt. Bove to the North and Mt. della Laga to the South, are separated by an NNE‐SSW‐trending lateral ramp of the Sibillini thrust, a regional structure inherited from the previous compressional tectonic phase putting into contact diverse lithologies with different seismicity patterns. Space‐time reconstruction of the fault system supports a composite rupture scenario previously proposed for the MW 6.5 Norcia earthquake, where the rupture possibly propagated also along an oblique portion of the Sibillini thrust. This dissected set of normal fault segments is bounded at 8–10 km depth by a continuous 2 km thick seismicity layer of extensional nature slightly dipping eastward and interpreted as a shear zone. All three mainshocks in the sequence nucleated along the high‐angle planes at significant distance from the shear zone, thus complicating the interpretation of the mechanisms driving strain partitioning between these structures.
