Having available the pre-earthquake 222Rn and 220Rn grid-map on around 50 soil-gas points and being 222Rn both a stress-pathfinder and a discriminative component of activated-faults, a mirrorlike survey was repeated on the same 50 sites, soon after the close earthquake. Later, during a quiescent-aseismic period (December, 2005), a CO2 flux survey was performed for the same 50 sites, adding detailed measurements (more than 100 sites) for the highest flux sectors. The aim of this survey was both to have an overall picture of the background CO2 flux and to calculate the total budget of CO2 flux throughout the DDS, to better interpret the 222Rn and 220Rn areal surveys before and after the seismic event. Herewith, we distinguish the contribution of organic, diffusive and advective CO2 flux. Hints of convection and strong degassing linked to the fracture field, inside the DDS, have been envisaged on selected points, where continuous monitoring stations could be strategic, for seismic, volcanic and NGH surveillance. Despite we found higher 222Rn values in soils after the earthquake, suggesting an enhanced local degassing probably linked to a stress signal throughout the DDS as a whole, the results highlight an unmodified shape and location of the 222Rn anomalies before and after the earthquake. This evidence excludes both that the activated seismogenic segment has affected in some ways both the DDS degassing patterns and that fracture field changed. A similar result could be expected if the activated fault was oriented along the DDS itself and reached the surface. This evidence is well correlated with the reconstructed focal mechanism of the earthquake, pertaining to the transfer structure of the Ardea Graben , located along a peripheral sector of the degassing Alban Hills volcano and intersecting the DDS Tor Caldara itself. The shape and location of 222Rn anomalies inside the DDS for both the surveys are strictly inversely correlated with the areal CO2 flux data. The geometry of the degassing pathways is probably linked to the barrier action (sealing power) of the clays cropping out in the study area. These clays are generated by the strong leaching of the outcropping sedimentary Pleistocene rocks due to the huge flux of volcanic gas -rich fluids.196 121 - PublicationOpen AccessThe November 23, 1980 Irpinia earthquake: an analysis with the new procedure of intensity evaluation(1993)

Giorgio seismic sequence, occurred in central Italy on 3 July 1987 with a main shock of Md=4.9. The sequence, occurred in a low seismicity zone, was characterized by absence of foreshocks. Focal mechanisms of the four greatest shocks, derived from P-first arrivals, show compressive solution with negligible strike components; it seems to confirm the tectonic trend of thrust faults remarked by some authors. Some characteristics of the sequence underline the coupling between the cumulative frequency vs. time trend and the modality of a Kelvin's solid strain release which has a time relaxation of about 5 days. Furthermore we analyse b-value and Gutemberg relation to evaluate the energy release. Finally macroseismic analysis related to the felt area is shown with isoseismal map175 27 - PublicationOpen AccessTyrgeonet: a global positioning system geodetic network for the geodynamical survey of the Italian peninsula(1993)

The aim of the Museum, which was founded on February 26th 2005, is to make the language of Geophysics friendlier and to show the relationship between science and science fiction. The Geophysical Museum is housed in the historical Geodynamic Observatory, built in 1889 by the famous seismologist Michele Stefano De Rossi. The Museum explains the main topics of Geophysics through the use of posters, movie presentations and interactive experiments and presents the stages of scientific research that led to the modern definition of the Earth's internal model. The main focus of the Museum has been school students of all ages, with eight thousand visitors in two years. The Museum connects geophysics to the world of nature and by using science fiction techniques, shows that science is not only the product of certainty or established facts, but also the product of trials and failures. Visitors will find special importance given to seismology, with a special section of ancient and modern seismographs. There is also a room dedicated to a three-dimensional projection system where the visitor can enjoy movies about Alban Hills earthquakes to appreciate the geological evolution of volcanism in this area.256 22 - PublicationOpen AccessLA RETE SISMICA DELLA PIANA DI GUIDONIA (LAZIO): DATI PRELIMINARI(2004-12-14)

The seismic network (RLG) consists of three digital seismic stations with distances of each other about 2 kilometers, activated to leave from the June 2004 and equipped with three components 1 Hz sismometer. Subsequently, the RLG has enriched of other four digital stations equipped with three components 5 Hz sismometer This network has like main objective the high quality data that agree a better definition of the seismic local activity. These data, that integrate those of the Seismographic Centralized National Network (SCNN), agreed a better ipocentre location. Network geometriy was chosen so as to give back the RLG an independent structure to carry out reliable seismicity locations that characterizes the plain of Guidonia. Unfortunately, industrial and human activity, increases in considerable manner the seismic noise, giving back difficult the record of small events. For this motive the location of the sites was more times changed, and lately, after a seismic crisis in the northern side of the Mountains Cornicolani, that has presented with the same features of that of 2001 of Guidonia, some stations were moved in the neighboring village of Palombara Sabina (Rm).234 1118 - PublicationOpen AccessAn analytic method for separating local from regional effects on macroseismic intensity(1995-03)
; ; ; ;Tosi, P.; Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica, Roma, Italy ;De Rubeis, V.; Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica, Roma, Italy ;Gasparini, C.; Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica, Roma, Italy; ; nterpretation of macroseismic data is hazardous, due to its qualitative nature. This, linked with errors in eval- uation,) and the variations of local intensity, makes it difficult to draw valid conclusions. This study presents a statistical method as the basis for distinguishing the diverse components that constitute a macroseismic field. The method is based on the polar transformation of the coordinate system and on the analysis of the fractal di- mension of the intensity values, exposed to the gradually increasing action of a two-dimensional filter. The fractal dimension is shown to be an ideaI parameter with which to measure out the filtering process in order to separate the local components from the regional trend. This method has been applied to two Italian events and to an earthquake which took pIace in the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).155 342 - PublicationOpen AccessCrustal activities monitoring program in the Albani Hills volcanic group (Rome, central Italy)(1989-09-04)
