Research Projects in Seismology within the DPC-INGV 2007-2009 Agreement

The 2007-2009 Agreement between the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC) and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) includes, among the others, the execution of a series of Projects in Seismology funded by the DPC with € 5,250,000. These are developed to achieve objectives of specific interest for the DPC in the field of Seismology. The projects are carried out with the contribution of the national and international scientific community, and they are organised as follows. S1 - Analysis of the seismic potential in Italy for the evaluation of the seismic hazard. S2 - Development of a dynamical model for seismic hazard assessment at national scale. S3 - Fast evaluation of parameters and effects of strong earthquakes in Italy and in the Mediterranean. S4 - Italian Strong Motion Database. S5 - High resolution multi-disciplinary monitoring of active fault test-sites areas in Italy.
