    International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG): an update on activities (2016)
    European Geosciences Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-25
    Description: The International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG: http://www.geoethics.org) was founded on August 2012 to unite global geoscientists to raise the awareness of the scientific community regarding the importance of the ethical, social and cultural implications of geoscience research, education, and practice. IAPG is an international, multidisciplinary and scientific platform for discussion on ethical problems and dilemmas in Earth Sciences, promoting geoethical themes through scientific publications and conferences, strengthening the research base on geoethics, and focusing on case-studies as models for the development of effective and operative strategies. IAPG is legally recognized as a not-for-profit organization. It is a non-governmental, non-political, non-party institution, at all times free from racial, gender, religious or national prejudices. Its network continues to grow with more than 900 members in 103 countries, including 20 national sections. IAPG operates exclusively through donations and personal funds of its members. The results achieved since inception have been recognized by numerous international organizations. In particular, IAPG has obtained the status of affiliated organization by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), American Geosciences Institute (AGI), Geological Society of America (GSA), and the Geological Society of London (GSL). IAPG has enlarged its official relationships also through agreements on collaboration with other organizations, such as the American Geophysical Union (AGU), EuroGeoSurveys (EGS), European Federation of Geologists (EFG), Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG), International Geoscience Education Organisation (IGEO), African Association of Women in Geosciences (AAWG), and others. IAPG considers publications as an indispensable activity to strengthen geoethics from a scientific point of view, so members are active in the publication of articles and editing of books on Geoethics with a peer-review process. Moreover, IAPG organizes sessions/symposia on geoethics in national and international congresses, thus encouraging a wide participation of the scientific community in the discussion on geoethical topics. This presentation provides an update on new results and numerous ongoing activities carried out by the IAPG with a brief look to future initiatives.

    ENVRI PLUS project: Developing an ethical framework for Environmental and Earth System Research Infrastructures (2016)
    European Geosciences Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: ENVRI PLUS is a Horizon 2020 project bringing together Environmental and Earth System Research Infrastructures (RIs), projects and networks with technical specialist partners to create a more coherent, interdisciplinary and interoperable cluster of Environmental Research Infrastructures across Europe (http://www.envriplus.eu/). One theme of the project deals with the societal relevance and understanding, and within that theme an entire work-package (WP) aims at developing an ethical framework for RIs. Objectives of this WP are: • increase the awareness of both the scientists and the public on the importance of ethical aspects in Earth sciences; • establish a shared ethical framework of reference, to be adopted by RIs governing bodies; • increase the awareness of RIs management and operational levels and of the individual involved scientists on their social role in conducting research activities and research work environment; • assess the ethical and social aspects related to the results achieved and deliverables released within the project. The ongoing activities include: • reviewing the state of art on ethical issues useful for the goals of the project (collection and analysis of materials already existing within scientific organizations, institutions all over the world); • the creation of a questionnaire, through which to investigate how each RI participating in ENVRI PLUS faces ethical issues in relation to its activities, and so to understand the level of perception that researchers and technicians involved in the project have on the ethical implications of their scientific activities; • the definition of ethics guidelines to be used by partners for building their policies and their own codes of conduct; • the elaboration of an ethical label template to characterize each product of the project, that partners will be able to use in order to give essential information about the ethical and social implications of their products; • the dissemination of all the results of the previous activities on websites and social networks, so that they are suitable for the public. ENVRI PLUS is the first European project in which ethics applied to geosciences find space as a fundamental issue, at the base of scientific activities.

    Terremoto de L’Aquila del 6 aprile 2009: rilievo macrosismico, distribuzione delle intensità macrosismiche ed implicazioni sismotettoniche (2010)
    AIQUA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-06-14
    Description: Viene dato ragguaglio sulle operazioni di rilievo macrosismico relative al terremoto aquilano del 6 Aprile 2009 (Mw=6.3; Io=IX MCS) condotte dal QUEST e del risultato conseguito in termini di distribuzione delle intensità per 316 località visitate. Il terremoto, che ha provocato la distruzione di numerosi centri della conca Aquilana ed oltre 300 vittime, mostra un’area mesosimica allungata in direzione NW-SE, con una coda di forti risentimenti verso SE nella conca subèquana. Questo è in accordo con la geometria, cinematica e dinamica della rottura della struttura sismogenetica, individuata anche grazie alle evidenze di fagliazione di superficie seguite per circa 20 km lungo il versante nordorientale della Valle dell’Aterno, tra Collebrincioni e San Demetrio ne’ Vestini (sistema di faglie di Paganica-San Demetrio). Tale struttura viene anche indicata responsabile del terremoto “gemello” del 1461, oltre che da eventi di più elevata energia, come analisi paleosismologiche e rilievi geologici in corso hanno confermato.

    An innovative tsunami detector operating on a multiparameter seafloor observatory (2008)
    European Geosciences Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: During the cruise of the Italian research vessel URANIA on August 2007, a new tsunami detector was successfully deployed at 3200 b. s. l. in the Gulf of Cadiz, Portugal. The new detector is installed on board the multi-parameter abyssal observatory GEOSTAR. This activity is a task of NEAREST EC Project (http://nearest.bo.ismar.cnr.it/ ). Among other tasks, the NEAREST project will produce and test the basic parts of an operational prototype of a near field tsunami warning system. The warning system includes an onshore warning centre based on the seismic and tide gauges monitoring networks which are already operating in the area of Gulf of Cadiz and connected in real time with many warning receiving shore stations, a buoy equipped with meteostation and two way acoustic and satellite links, and the tsunami detector installed on board GEOSTAR. The warning centre is in charge of collecting, integrating, and evaluating data recorded at sea. In the observatory at the sea bottom, data are recorded and processed by the tsunami detector which includes a pressure sensor, a seismometer and two accelerometers. The observatory communicates acoustically with a surface buoy in two-way mode. The buoy is equipped with meteo station and GPS and it is connected to the shore station via satellite dual-link. The prototype is designed to operate in tsunami generation areas for detection-warning purpose as well as for scientific measurements during long term monitoring. The pressure data are processed in real time on the sea floor observatory by a tsunami detection algorithm able to detect small tsunami waves, less than one centimetre, in a very noisy environment. At the same time the seismic data are analysed using a STA/LTA algorithm. The tsunami detector sends a near real time automatic alert message when a seismic or a pressure signal exceeds a selectable threshold indicating a strong local earthquake or a tsunami wave event. After the detection of an event, the seafloor observatory will start sending updated pressure data to the shore station. Our objective is to combine a novel approach to the tsunami warning problem, with a study of the coupling between the water column perturbations and sea floor motion, together with the long term monitoring of geophysical, geochemical and oceanographic parameters.

    The late stage of retreating subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region: constraints from travel time seismic tomography (2008)
    Editrice Compositori
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Seismological modelling of the upper mantle of the Africa-Eurasia collision region has given images of its structure which can be used to supplement surface (geologic) information in the attempt to understand past and active tectonic processes. A foremost feature of the region is given by the sinuous Alpine-Mediterranean thrust belt, under which subducted lithosphere is imaged by seismic tomography as seismically fast material (colder than ambient rock). Several arcuate structures are present, combining an external thrust front with an internal extensional basin, originated by slab rollback: the Hellenic arc with the Aegean basin, the Calabrian arc with the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Betic-Rif with the Alboran Sea, and the Carpathians with the Pannonian basin. These systems are at different stages of their life, and all but the Hellenic-Aegean appear close to their terminal phase. Shape and extent of subducted slabs provide constraints on their evolution. Tomographic results, in all but the Hellenic-Aegean system, show a general lack of overall continuity of the subducted bodies, and in many cases support the idea that other processes, such as slab detachment or mantle delamination, contributed to shape the present day tectonics. Although tomographic results have steadily improved image resolution with time, differences between studies may lead to different interpretations. Better understanding of processes active at the late phases of subduction needs a close interplay between tomography, geology, and mantle dynamics calculations.

    A technical note on the bias in the estimation of the b-value and its uncertainty through the Least Squares technique (2008)
    Editrice Compositori
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-11-04
    Description: We investigate conceptually, analytically, and numerically the biases in the estimation of the b-value of the Gutenberg-Richter Law and of its uncertainty made through the least squares technique. The biases are introduced by the cumulation operation for the cumulative form of the Gutenberg-Richter Law, by the logarithmic transformation, and by the measurement errors on the magnitude. We find that the least squares technique, applied to the cumulative and binned form of the Gutenberg-Richter Law, produces strong bias in the b-value and its uncertainty, whose amplitudes depend on the size of the sample. Furthermore, the logarithmic transformation produces two different endemic bends in the Log(N) versus M curve. This means that this plot might produce fake significant departures from the Gutenberg-Richter Law. The effect of the measurement errors is negligible compared to those of cumulation operation and logarithmic transformation. The results obtained show that the least squares technique should never be used to determine the slope of the Gutenberg-Richter Law and its uncertainty.

    Studio macrosismico del terremoto del Gran Sasso (Italia centrale) del 5 settembre 1950: implicazioni sismotettoniche (2007)
    AIQUA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Il 5 settembre 1950 alle ore 04.08 (GMT), un forte terremoto fu avvertito in tutta l’Italia centrale e arrecò gravi danni in diversi centri abitati delle province di Teramo, Pescara, L’Aquila e Rieti. Questo evento è considerato il massimo terremoto storico avvenuto nell’area del Gran Sasso d’Italia, zona che, secondo i cataloghi sismici italiani è caratterizzata da un’attività sismica relativamente modesta. Al contrario le zone circostanti sono sede di sismicità più frequente e di forti terremoti storici. Questo lavoro è uno studio di revisione del terremoto che colpì l'area del 5 settembre 1950 e del periodo sismico che ne seguì tra il 1950 e il 1951. Scopo della ricerca è quello di ampliare il quadro delle conoscenze su questo sisma e di inquadrarlo nel contesto sismotettonico dell'area. La ricerca ha condotto al reperimento di moltissimi documenti originali, sinora inediti, sia relativi alla scossa del 5 settembre 1950, che a quella dell’8 agosto 1951 che rappresenta l’evento più forte del periodo sismico successivo alla scossa principale. I risultati riguardano una maggiore completezza delle informazioni sul terremoto, anche relativamente al ruolo delle repliche nel quadro del danneggiamento. Il numero dei punti di intensità risulta triplicato rispetto a quanto finora conosciuto. Gli elementi di analisi contribuiscono al calcolo di nuovi parametri ipocentrali e a fornire una ipotesi interpretativa riguardo alla sorgente responsabile del terremoto. In base ai dati acquisiti sulla distribuzione del danno è possibile ipotizzare che il terremoto del 1950 sia stato causato da una sorgente con direzione circa E-O, al di sotto dell’edificio strutturale della Laga, tra Campotosto e Pietracamela.

    Materials for the investigation of The Seismicity Of Algeria And Adjacent Regions during the twentieth century (2006)
    Editrice Compositori
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-11-04
    Description: Dr. Benouar presents a full and integrated study of the recent seismicity of Algeria and adjacent regions during the twentieth century. He has amassed an impressive amount of macroseismic information pertaining to individual earthquakes, which he combines with instrumental information to reassess the origin parameters of each event. In any compilation of earthquakes it is the additional information beyond the bare accumulation of figures and facts that adds interest and social understanding to the scientific appreciation of the earthquakes themselves. For this it is necessary to know the local conditions, and Dr. Benouar brings out for us very vivid1y the differences between reporting procedures at different times this century, and the ensuing difficulties. It would be most difficult for an outsider to gather the information he presents, and he makes good use of his knowledge of his native land, as well as his professional training as an engineer. We thus learn of the reluctance of the colonial powers to report on damage or casualties outside those inflicted on the expatriate community, and the general difficulties of finding information about earthquakes that occurred during the wars of independence, at a time when effects of even major earthquakes were sometimes minor compared to those of the war itself. He also does not spare us details of political difficulties that arose during periods of reconstruction following recent earthquakes. This work is not restricted, however, to description. He examines the underlying tectonics of the area and deduces estimates of hazard and risk in various parts of the country. He then proceeds to examine the engineering consequences and discuss future needs for building codes and civil protection. Dr. Benouar has produced a work which could well form a model for those wishing to undertake comprelzensive studies of seismicity of other areas, and the measures needed to reduce the effects of catastrophic earthquakes.
