What is the difference between a seismogenic fault and a capable fault? 🤔 💥 Seismogenic fault: The source of an earthquake at depth. 🌍 Capable fault: A fault with potential for displacement at or near the surface. Want to connect the two? Check out PDF-Italy (seismofaults.eu/pdf-italy). 1/4

🚨 New database out! Database of Surface Faulting events in ITaly - SFIT 👇 www.seismofaults.eu/sfit SFIT is a compilation of published data on earthquake surface fault ruptures in Italy over the last century. doi.org/10.13127/sfi...
🚨New database out! 👉 seismofaults.eu/pdf-italy PDF-Italy integrates DISS (diss.ingv.it) and ITHACA (sgi.isprambiente.it/ithacaweb/de...) into a system of principal and distributed faulting, a framework commonly adopted in coseismic surface faulting hazard studies.
In the coming days, our services will be migrated to the new infrastructure, enabling us to provide an increasingly rich and efficient service. There may be brief interruptions to services or hosted websites.

Global distribution of earthquake-fault dip angles This study presents a global survey and analysis of earthquake-fault dip angles, highlighting their significance in earthquake hazard assessments and the limitations of existing models based on Anderson's theory. 👉 doi.org/10.1093/gji/...
Global distribution of earthquake-fault dip angles
Summary. The dip angle is one of the fault parameters that most affect fault-related hazard analyses (ground shaking, tsunami) because it not only influenc
