Le Marche tra monitoraggio sismico e sismologia storica.

Abstract

Seismic monitoring and historical research on earthquakes are among the activities that contribute to improving knowledge of seismicity and seismic risk in the territory. The Marche Region's contribution to seismic monitoring and seismological studies is the result of synergies between national and local research bodies and regional institutions, which began in 197,3 when the CNR in Milan installed the seismological network in the Ancona area (Ferraris et al. 1975), from which the Marche Seismic Network was born in 1979 at the Geophysical Observatory in Macerata. We retrace the steps in the development of instrumental seismic monitoring in the Marche region, historical seismology research (in which the Marche region was the testing ground for research methodologies now in current use in Italy and abroad), and information, training and dissemination initiatives on the earthquake aimed at citizens.
