The Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS), version 3: Summarizing 20 years of research on Italy's earthquake geology

TL;DR: The Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS) as mentioned in this paper contains the results of the investigations of the active tectonics in Italy during the past 20 years and provides a fresh and unified view of active and seismogenic processes in Italy by building on basic physical constraints concerning rates of crustal deformation, on the continuity of deformation belts and on the spatial relationships between adjacent faults, both at the surface and at depth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining seismogenic sources from historical earthquake felt reports

TL;DR: In this article, a method that uses macroseismic intensity data to assess the location, physical dimensions, and orientation of the source of large historical earthquakes is presented, which is quite stable for different choices of the algorithm parameters and provides elongation directions that can be shown to be statistically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

A seismic source zone model for the seismic hazard assessment of the Italian territory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new seismic source model for Italy to be used as an input for country-wide probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the frame of the compilation of a new national reference map.
