Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS), Version 3.0.4: A compilation of potential sources for earthquakes larger than M 5.5 in Italy and surrounding areas.
DISS Version 3.0.4
This version of the Database contains over 100 individual seismogenic sources and over 80 seismogenic areas. Both categories are based on geological/geophysical data and cover the whole Italian territory and some conterminous regions. This version also incorporates:
a totally new set of macroseismic sources based on the lately release historical earthquake catalogue: DBMI04, il database delle osservazioni macrosismiche dei terremoti italiani utilizzate per la compilazione del catalogo parametrico CPTI04 [Stucchi et al. (2007); http://emidius.mi.ingv.it/DBMI04/];
several updated sources and a few new sources based on the outcomes of the project INGV-DPC S2 Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia (Assessment of the seismogenic potential and probability of large earthquakes in Italy).
This version also includes:
over 2,100 selected references to scientific literature specifically pertinent to the identified seismogenic sources;
new source-specific pictures selected from the literature, such as geological maps, cross-sections, and photographs.
This version of the Database was primarily developed for use among the scientists who participated in the project INGV-DPC S2 "Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia" (Assessment of the seismogenic potential and probability of large earthquakes in Italy) - as the contribution of UR1.1 (task 1) for the project - who are informed on all its possible flaws and limitations. All other users are therefore cautioned in using version 3.0.4 in any application.
As a product of the same project were also DISS versions 3.0.2 and 3.0.3.Project “Valutazione del potenziale sismogenetico e probabilità dei forti terremoti in Italia” funded by Italy’s Department for Civil Protection (2005-2007).Published3.2.
