Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources, version 3.1.0

Abstract

DISS Working Group has increased and updated the content of the Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS), and improved its functions and structure. New improvements and new data have been implemented as the new DISS release, version 3.1.0. DISS Working Group focused on furthering the characterization of the already existing seismogenic sources, both Individual Sources and Composite Sources. The Working Group implemented and completed background information and support data, images, and texts. New significant bibliographic data that augment information about DISS sources have been included. A new layer containing information about debated seismogenic sources has been included, concerning tectonic structures believed by some authors to be seismogenic and not yet included in DISS. This new layer contains an original critical review of the available data. We focused on the identification and characterization of six new Composite Sources in the eastern Adriatic area. These sources describe sections of the external Dinaric thrust system that affect the eastern side of the Adriatic foreland. The DISS web portal has been restyled and the W3C (html 4.01, css) validation was obtained for all pages. The overall look of the web site now complies with most of the requirements of the Italian Law n. 4, January 9, 2004.
