    Difficulties in explaining complex issues with maps: evaluating seismic hazard communication – the Swiss case (2019)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-12-02
    Description: A total of 2.7 billion people live in areas where earthquakes causing at least slight damage have to be expected regularly. Providing information can potentially save lives and improve the resilience of a society. Maps are an established way to illustrate natural hazards. Despite being mainly tailored to the requirements of professional users, they are often the only accessible information to help the public in deciding about mitigation measures. There is evidence that hazard maps are frequently misconceived. Visual and textual characteristics as well as the manner of presentation have been shown to influence their comprehensibility. Using a real case reflecting current practices, the material to communicate the updated seismic hazard model for Switzerland was analyzed in a representative online survey of the population (N=491) and in two workshops involving architects and engineers not specializing in seismic retrofitting (N=23). Although many best-practice recommendations have been followed, the understanding of seismic hazard information remains challenging. Whereas most participants were able to distinguish hazardous from less hazardous areas, correctly interpreting detailed results and identifying the most suitable set of information for answering a given question proved demanding. We suggest scrutinizing current natural-hazard communication strategies, empirically testing new products, and exploring alternatives to raise awareness and enhance preparedness.

    D13.2 Ethical Label Template (2019)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-10
    Description: The results of the survey through the online questionnaire “what do you know about ethics in geosciences?” described in the Deliverable 13.1 (http://www.envriplus.eu/wpcontent/uploads/2015/08/D13.1.pdf) has clearly shown the general recognition by interviewees on the importance of ethical and social aspects involved in own research and technological activities, but at the same time identified a general lack of awareness on what this concretely means. In addition, even if problems related to internal dynamics of the research working environment seem to be known or at least perceived, what one's own work can mean for the benefit of society seems not so clear, and ethical and social implications related to activities are perceived as quite difficult to be analyzed. ENVRIplus is aimed at providing shared solutions for science and society. The questionnaire developed not only helped to learn more about ethical matters with respect to scientific work, but also raised with its distribution recipients’ (ENVRIplus project participants) awareness for ethical and societal aspects of their research activities. The Ethical Label aims to continue these efforts by supporting researchers to clarify the potential ethical, societal, and scientific impact of their activities. Moreover, filling the Ethical Label can constitute a useful internal project training on developing a critical thinking in ethics in science and in science-society interactions. The Ethical provides information about the ethical, social and environmental implications and impact of a deliverable or other project results, thereby adding value to the usual technical-scientific focused description of any project outcome. The Ethical Label represents a schematic and simplified information, in tabular form, as a support of the introductory part of every outcome of the project, which orients the end-user to better identify concepts and aspects that describe the function of that product, with particular reference to its impact on the scientific community, society and the environment.

    D13.3 Ethical Guidelines for Research Infrastructures (2019)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-10
    Description: This deliverable refers to the “Ethical Guidelines” (EGs) for Research Infrastructures (RIs) developed and implemented by WP13. The EGs present a general framework of ethical values, to be used by each research infrastructure of the ENVRI community. They are a basis to design or to shape individual ethical guidelines taking into account RIs’ peculiarities with respect to their status, duties, activities, and goals. The EGs are structured in a main section, explaining general ethical values, and a subordinate section, where some delicate matters of interest for RIs are discussed from an ethical perspective. Ethical values included in the EGs refer to four ethical domains, affecting RI’s as a whole as well as individual scientists working at RIs. The domains mirror the ethical profile of each scientist/technician/administrator, his/her relationships with colleagues and their working environment, the interaction with society, and their obligations towards the Earth system. In addition to these four domains, the EGs discuss several issues which are considered to have a particular importance for the RIs: working environment, data life cycle, conflicts of interest, and relationship with decision-makers. Their balance is indispensable for a respectful and caring work environment and are needed to ensure a fair reflection of the institutional activities and results towards society. The EGs are the result of an extensive survey of relevant literature produced by scientific and professional organizations, institutions, and bodies focusing on applied ethics for research and other professional activities conducted at RIs.

    Addressing the challenges of making data, products, and services accessible: an EPOS perspective (2022)
    Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-05-04
    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.

    The 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model: Milestones and Lessons Learned (2023)
    Springer Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-01-18
    Description: The 2020 update of the European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20) is the most recent seismic hazard model of the Euro-Mediterranean region. It was built upon unified and homogenized datasets including earthquake catalogues, active faults, ground motion recordings and state-of-the-art modelling components, i.e. earthquake rates forecast and regionally variable ground motion characteristic models. ESHM20 replaces the 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM13), and it is the first regional model to provide two informative hazard maps for the next update of the European Seismic Design Code (CEN EC8). ESHM20 is also one of the key components of the first publicly available seismic risk model for Europe. This chapter provides a short summary of ESHM20 by highlighting its main features and describing some lessons learned during the model’s development.
