    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: This is the first volume of an international scientific journal that is dedicated to issues of geoethics and geological culture. Its goal is to inform the Italian and international scientific communities about what emerged at the GeoItalia 2011 conference, attended by not only Italian geoscientists. At this conference, the geoscientists questioned their role in society and the responsibilities that they have to assume as scholars of the planet Earth and experts of the territory. They highlighted the need for rediscovery of the cultural values of geology as a science that can contribute to the construction of correct social knowledge, and the need to be aware that geoethics cannot exist without a real awareness among geoscientists of the cultural value of the Earth sciences.

    Testing the stability of moment tensor solutions for small earthquakes in the Calabro-Peloritan Arc region (southern Italy) (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale-OGS
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: The aim of this study is to test the stability of moment tensor solutions for crustal earthquakes in the Calabro-Peloritan area (southern Italy). We used waveforms recorded by the Italian National Seismic Network managed by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia and the CAT-SCAN (Calabria Apennine Tyrrhenian - Subduction Collision Accretion Network) project. We computed the moment tensor solutions using the Cut And Paste (CAP) method. The technique allows the determination of the source depth, moment magnitude and focal mechanisms using a grid search technique. For the earthquakes investigated, we tried different station distributions and different velocity models. Results were also checked by computing the moment tensor solutions using the SLUMT grid-search method. Both methods (CAP and SLUMT) allow time shifts between synthetic and observed data in order to reduce the dependence of the solution on the assumed velocity model and on earthquake location errors. Comparisons have been made with the available published solutions. The final focal mechanisms were robustly determined. We show that the application of the CAP and SLUMT methods can provide good-quality solutions in a magnitude range not properly represented in the Italian national earthquake catalogues, and where the solutions estimated from Ponset polarities are often poorly constrained.

    Imaging the velocity structure of the Calabrian Arc region (southern Italy) through the integration of different seismological data (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale-OGS
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: We present a new 3D, P-wave velocity model of the crust and upper lithosphere for the Calabrian Arc region. The model results from integration of different types of seismic velocity data available in the literature, following a method conceptually similar to one that has been successfully applied in the Alpine region. The model obtained, clearly shows the first-order structural features of the area, in agreement with the complex puzzle of lithospheric units. It also has the advantage of representing the simplest velocity structure that is consistent with all published data. We then employed this “apriori” velocity model as starting model for a local earthquake tomography. The velocity pattern obtained furnishes new information on the relationships between deep dynamics related to the Ionian subduction system and processes occurring at crustal depths. In addition, also the low RMS values coming from hypocenter locations indicate an improvement with respect to 3D models already available and to tomographic results obtained by testing different starting velocity models.

    Geoethics and geological culture: awareness, responsibility and challenges (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The international debate in the field of geoethics focuses on some of the most important environmental emergencies, while highlighting the great responsibilities of geoscientists, whatever field they work in, and the important social, cultural and economic repercussions that their choices can have on society. The GeoItalia 2009 and 2011 conferences that were held in Rimini and Turin, respectively, and were organized by the Italian Federation of Earth Science, were two important moments for the promotion of geoethics in Italy. They were devoted to the highlighting of how, and with what tools and contents, can the geosciences contribute to the cultural renewal of society. They also covered the active roles of geoscientists in the dissemination of scientific information, contributing in this way to the correct construction of social knowledge. Geology is culture, and as such it can help to dispel misconceptions and cultural stereotypes that concern natural phenomena, disasters, resources, and land management. Geological culture consists of methods, goals, values, history, ways of thinking about nature, and specific sensitivity for approaching problems and their solutions. So geology has to fix referenced values, as indispensable prerequisites for geoethics. Together, geological culture and geoethics can strengthen the bond that joins people to their territory, and can help to find solutions and answers to some important challenges in the coming years regarding natural risks, resources, and climate change. Starting from these considerations, we stress the importance of establishing an ethical criterion for Earth scientists, to focus attention on the issue of the responsibility of geoscientists, and the need to more clearly define their scientific identity and the value of their specificities.

    OMBRA: Observing Montello BRoad Activity. Una rete temporanea per lo studio dei processi di deformazione attraverso la faglia del Montello (Alpi orientali). (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: L’area veneta delle Alpi orientali è caratterizzata da una debole sismicità di background. In particolare, l’attività sismica registrata negli ultimi 30 anni [Castello et al., 2006; Bollettino Sismico INGV1] mostra eventi di bassa energia (ML〈3) lungo l’arco alpino in corrispondenza dell’anticlinale del Montello (situato a NW di Treviso). Sono noti però alcuni eventi di magnitudo medio-alta che hanno storicamente interessato la regione: l’episodio più significativo è il terremoto di Asolo del 1695 (Imax 10 e MaW 6.61), affiancato da tre ulteriori eventi sismici di intensità Imax≥VIII (magnitudo equivalente 6.0) avvenuti nel 778, 1286 e 1836 [CPTI Working group 2004] (Figura 1). Il Montello è catalogato tra i segmenti sismogeneticamente attivi del fronte alpino [Valensise and Pantosti, 2001; Galadini et al., 2005; Poli et al., 2008], originato dall’uplift di una struttura di thrust S-vergente, con slip rate di deformazione stimato tra 1.5 mm/yr [Burrato et al., 2009] e 1.8-2.0 mm/yr [Benedetti et al., 2000]. Scopo del progetto OMBRA è quello di studiare alcune questioni ancora aperte e scientificamente controverse. Ci si chiede come questi eventi storici forti possano integrarsi nel contesto della debole sismicità di fondo osservata recentemente. Inoltre è interessante capire come una velocità di placca relativamente alta possa accomodarsi nel pattern regionale e inoltre quali strutture tra l’anticlinale e il fronte alpino possano essere potenzialmente attive.

    A Hippocratic Oath for geologists? (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We argue here that the introduction of an ethical code of conduct that follows the example of the Hippocratic Oath of physicians will help geologists to acquire binding awareness of their professional and social responsibilities. The ethical behavior and obligations of modern geologists involve, but are not limited to, the following issues: correct land/ environment use and management; respect of truth and science; and protection of the Earth systems, on both the local and global scales, and therefore, of our well-being. We believe that for geoligists, the explicit acceptance of an ethical code will help to promote: (i) an awareness of their social role, expertise and sense of belonging to a professional community; (ii) an understanding of the expectations of citizens and society; and (iii) cultural growth, with better use of research and implementation of scientific and professional skills. All this should enhance the public recognition of the social mission of geologists, which is essential for the well-being of society. Therefore, we suggest that like in the majority of medical schools, ethical training should be a part of the university curriculum for students in geology.

    Introducing the special issue on the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (2012)
    Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale-OGS
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: The 28th National Congress of the Gruppo Nazionale di Geofisica della Terra Solida held in Trieste in November 2009, hosted a special session dedicated to the earthquake that only six months before devastated L’Aquila and many ancient villages spread along the Aterno Valley (Abruzzo, central Italy). We resume here the main geophysical characteristics of that long seismic sequence, before introducing in brief the contents of eight papers that we have solicited amongst the thirty-seven presented in Trieste, plus other three coming from other sessions, all of them dealing with the L’Aquila earthquake.
