The effective management of the risks posed by natural and man-made hazards requires all relevant threats their interactions to be considered. This paper proposes a three-level framework for multi-risk assessment that accounts possible hazard risk interactions. first level is flow chart guides user in deciding whether multi-hazard approach required. second semi-quantitative explore if more detailed, quantitative needed. third detailed analysis based on Bayesian networks. Examples demonstrate...
Abstract Mining, water-reservoir impoundment, underground gas storage, geothermal energy exploitation and hydrocarbon extraction have the potential to cause rock deformation earthquakes, which may be hazardous for people, infrastructure environment. Restricted access data constitutes a barrier assessing mitigating associated hazards. Thematic Core Service Anthropogenic Hazards (TCS AH) of European Plate Observing System (EPOS) provides novel e-research infrastructure. The core this...
Abstract Changes in continental water storage generate vertical surface deformation, induce crustal stress perturbations, and modulate seismicity rates. However, the degree to which regional changes terrestrial content influence stresses occurrence of earthquakes remains an open problem. We show how groundwater storage, computed for a ∼1,000 km 2 basin, focus deformation narrow zone, causing large horizontal, nonseasonal displacements. present results from karstic mountain range located at...
Abstract The Apennines are a tectonically active belt that has experienced significant earthquakes (Mw6). largest events primarily occurred along the chain axis, where complex system of normal faults accommodates 2–3 mm/yr SW‐NE oriented extension, as precisely measured by dense Global Navigation Satellite System network. Geodetic strain rates now frequently used in earthquake hazard models; however, impact using such estimates, computed through different methods, for seismic assessments may...
Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe and renowned for its effusive explosive eruptions, frequently accompanied by intense seismic activity. The densely urbanized area of Eastern Sicily (Italy), situated on flanks Mt. Etna, has been focus an innovative comprehensive research project aimed at evaluating potential hazards subsequent risks. Hazard scenarios were generated within PANACEA (Probabilistic AssessmeNt volCanorelated multi-hazard multi-risk EtnA) they have effectively...
Multi-hazard assessment aims at evaluating the potential impacts of various natural and humaninduced hazards in a given area interest time period. The analysis can include different nature – such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides, industrial accidents considering their interdependencies cumulative effects. assessments provide critical insights into impact multiple hazards, enabling decision makers to adopt wider view problem with respect approach analyzing single...
Mount Etna, in Italy, is one the most active volcanoes world. Over past two decades, its explosive activity has intensified, producing high eruptive columns that rise up to about 15 km above sea level. The particles ejected during these eruptions have caused numerous challenges for population living on volcano’s slope, mainly due difficulties removing deposits, but also terms of health risks and mobility disruptions. increase Etna’s led continuous improvements monitoring forecasting system...
Geophysical signals accompanying the reactivation of a volcano after period quiescence must be evaluated as potential precursors to impending eruption. Here we report on central volcanic complex Tenerife, Spain, in spring 2004 and present gravity change maps constructed by time‐lapse microgravity measurements taken between May July 2005. The changes indicate that recent almost century inactivity was accompanied sub‐surface mass addition, yet did not detect widespread surface deformation. We...
Purpose Urban resilience is becoming increasingly important due to increasing degree of urbanization and a combination several factors affecting urban vulnerability. also understood as capacity system prepare, respond recover from multi-hazard threats. The purpose multi-risk approach (MRA) take into consideration interdependencies between multiple risks, which can trigger chain natural manmade events with different spatial temporal scales. this study understand correlation resilience....
Inundation maps are a fundamental tool for coastal risk management and in particular designing evacuation planning. These turn necessary component of the tsunami warning systems’ last-mile. In Italy inundation informed by probabilistic hazard model. Based on given level acceptable risk, Italian authorities charge this task recommended to consider, as design intensity, average return period 2500 years 84th percentile model uncertainty. An available, regional-scale was used that covers entire...

Significant deformations, followed by increased seismicity detected since 2011 July at El Hierro, Canary Islands, Spain, prompted the deployment of additional monitoring equipment. The climax this unrest was a submarine eruption first on October 10, and located about 2 km SW La Restinga, southernmost village Hierro Island. ceased 2012 March 5, after volcanic tremor signals persistently weakened through February. However, seismic activity did not end with eruption, as several other crises...
Open conduit volcanoes like Stromboli can display elusive changes in activity before major eruptive events. Starting on December 2020, volcano displayed an increasing activity, that 19 May 2021 led to a crater-rim collapse, with pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) spread along the barren NW flank, entered sea and ran across it for more than 1 km. This episode was followed by lava flow output from crater rim lasting few hours, another phase of June 2021. These episodes are potentially very...
Successful mitigation of a possible volcanic disaster depends upon the early detection renewed activity. With considerable optimism, volcano observatories instrument dangerous volcanoes, with hope an recognition reactivation volcano. Reventador volcano's November 3, 2002 eruption came little warning and had tremendous socio-economic impact. volcano, young andesitic cone in Eastern Cordillera Ecuador, has had, at least, 16 eruptions between 1541 2002. These were characterized by small...
Ecuador has 55 active volcanoes in the northern half of Ecuadorian Andes. There, consequences volcanism include ashfalls, pyroclastic flows (fast moving fluidized material hot gas, ash, and rock), lahars (mudflows), which result serious damage locally regionally thus are major concern to Ecuadorians. In particular, Tungurahua (elevation, 5023 meters) Cotopaxi 5876 high‐risk volcanoes. Since 1999, eruption activity at continued produced ashfalls that towns villages on flanks volcano. More...
Our ability to estimate surface deformation rates in the Central Mediterranean has considerably enhanced last decade thanks growth of continuous Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) networks. Focusing on Apennine/Alpine seismogenic belt, this area offers opportunity test use geodetic strain for constraining active tectonic processes and seismic hazard assessments. Given importance rate models modern estimation approaches, however, one consider that different approaches can provide...
In this paper, we present a model for describing relationships between fluid-induced seismicity and operational parameters of fluid injections. Considering seismic sequences occurring during sustained injections, novel covariate approach in which probability distribution is defined as basic template function modelling the interevent times (i.e. time intervals consecutive events), possible dependencies on are modelled writing probabilistic terms deterministic functions explanatory covariates...
ABSTRACT Earthquake hypocentral location is perhaps the most classical problem in seismology, solution of which often affected by significant uncertainty. In monitoring effects underground anthropogenic activities, earthquake location, magnitude, and ground motions are important parameters for managing induced seismicity (as e.g., operating traffic-light systems). Such decisional systems define operative reactions to be enacted once an earthquake, exceeding some magnitude or ground-motion...
