Summary: This study fills the gap in previous investigations of the seismic amplification mechanism in the Castelnuovo village by assessing the depth of the engineering bedrock. The results show that the impedance contrast below the village, at a depth of over 200 meters, is associated with a lithological transition, which is crucial for evaluating the seismic hazard in the area.

Summary: This study aims to develop predictive models for site response by investigating site effects using statistical analysis method. The study focuses on the Montereale basin in Italy, where the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence occurred. Geological and geophysical data, including profiles, velocity profiles, and seismic analysis, were collected and managed in a GIS database. Factor Analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between parameters and understand the influence of geological context on site effects. The analysis revealed the statistical variability of strong motion and coherent correlations between geological and geophysical indicators.

Summary: Site response functions are crucial in analyzing seismic hazards of a particular region, and this study assessed them for the central seismic gap region in the Himalayas. The importance of seismic hazard analysis and estimated values are highlighted, showing correlations between site response functions and station geology. The calculated site response functions are useful for various studies such as simulating strong ground motions and evaluating earthquake source parameters.

Summary: It is observed that earthquake S waves can resonate between the free surface and high-impedance basal layers in the central and eastern U.S., contributing to site response at specific frequencies. The resonances occur across large ranges of frequencies and are correlated with maximum impedance contrasts. Additionally, S-wave HVSR can be used to estimate fundamental-mode frequencies and corresponding amplifications.

Summary: Approximately 23,000 earthquakes from 2009 to 2016 were used to analyze the seismic activity preceding the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence. It was discovered that the seismic activity mainly occurred near faults and developed in foreshock-mainshock and swarm-like clusters. The progressive localization of the seismic activity weakened the locked patch of the Amatrice mainshock.

Summary: This paper presents the ground response analyses of an industrial facility planned in an area located on an active normal fault system called the Mt. Morrone Fault system (MMF). The seismic input for the dynamic numerical analyses was assessed using an interdisciplinary and non-standard approach, incorporating geological, seismological, geotechnical, and engineering contributions. Scenario-based and probabilistic seismic hazard analyses were implemented, and nonlinear numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation were conducted. The results indicate that a scenario-based methodology can better capture the shaking effect in near-field conditions, providing a more robust approach for design and assessment of buildings.

Summary: Seismic attenuation and scattering tomography models reveal the complex tectonics of Central-Southern Italy, with high attenuation and scattering anomalies characterizing the Apenninic Chain. Fault-associated fractured zones act as pathways for CO2-bearing fluids. The study also identifies previously undetected fluid source areas and locked aseismic zones with low seismic energy release.

Summary: In recent decades, the increasing number and severity of wildfires have become a major concern in many regions of the world. Wildfires not only directly impact forests, crops, and settlements, but also alter the hydrology of catchments, leading to increased runoff and erosion. Post-wildfire debris flows/floods are particularly prevalent in the western USA and southern Europe. In Italy, numerous post-wildfire debris flows/floods have been observed in different regions of the Apennine range and the Campania region. Evaluating the hazard of debris flows/floods in both pre- and post-wildfire conditions is crucial due to their potential catastrophic impacts on people and properties.

Summary: Deep fluid circulation is likely responsible for the large extensional events of the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence. This study demonstrates the use of peak delays, a proxy for scattering attenuation, in mapping thrusts and sedimentary structures and their influence on fluid overpressure and release. The results highlight the control of thrusts and paleogeography on the sequence and suggest the monitoring potential of this technique for seismic hazard assessment.

Summary: The study focuses on the post-seismic deformation of the 2016-2017 Central Italy earthquake sequence, emphasizing the role of afterslip and aseismic deformation on surrounding structures. It also suggests the possibility of a brittle-ductile transition contributing to the post-seismic displacement in the far-field domain.

Summary: This study analyzes the relationship between climate change and agricultural yields in the Abruzzo Region of Italy, showing that the region has experienced increased drought intensity and persistence, as well as a shift towards more temperate conditions in winter and a warmer and more arid climate in summer. The study also reveals an overall increase in the correlation between crop yield fluctuations and climatic variables, suggesting an increased vulnerability of the agricultural production system to climate change.
