Abstract
In Italy, since the 90s of the last century, researches concerning the contemporary stress field have been developing
at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) with local and regional scale studies. Throughout the years
many data have been analysed and collected: now they are organized and available for an easy end-use online.
IPSI (Italian Present-day Stress Indicators) database, is the first geo-referenced repository of information on the
crustal present-day stress field maintained at INGV through a web application database and website development by
Gabriele Tarabusi. Data consist of horizontal stress orientations analysed and compiled in a standardized format and
quality-ranked for reliability and comparability on a global scale with other database. Our first database release
includes 855 data records updated to December 2015. Here we present an updated version that will be released in
2018, after new earthquake data entry up to December 2017.
The IPSI web site (http://ipsi.rm.ingv.it/) allows accessing data on a standard map viewer and choose which data
(category and/or quality) to plot easily. The main information of each single element (type, quality, orientation) can be
viewed simply going over the related symbol, all the information appear by clicking the element. At the same time,
simple basic information on the different data type, tectonic regime assignment, quality ranking method are available
with pop-up windows. Data records can be downloaded in some common formats, moreover it is possible to download
a file directly usable with SHINE, a web based application to interpolate stress orientations (http://shine.rm.ingv.it).
IPSI is mainly conceived for those interested in studying the characters of Italian peninsula and surroundings although
Italian data are part of the World Stress Map (http://www.world-stress-map.org/) as evidenced by many links that
redirect to this database for more details on standard practices in this field.
