We probe the feasibility of integrating GPS and
Synthetic Aperture Radar deformation rates within the
seismic hazard models of the central Apennines (Italy),
exploiting data from over 100 GPS stations and the ~20-
year long ERS and ENVISAT SAR image archive. We
then use a kinematic finite element model to derive the
long-term strain rates, as well as earthquake recurrence
relations. In turn these are input to state-of-the-art
probabilistic seismic hazard models, the output of which
is validated statistically using data from the Italian
national accelerometric and macroseismic intensity
databases.Published23-273T. Pericolosità sismica e contributo alla definizione del rischioN/A or not JCRrestricte
