Some notes about seismotectonics
Figure 1. Comparison of focal mechanisms reported by other institutions (http://www.emsc-csem.org/Images/EVID/27/270/270116/270116.MT.jpg). Figure 2 shows the cluster of aftershocks for the two events, the 20th and 29th of May 2012. A migration of seismicity towards west is clearly visible. The relative location of the two earthquakes and the distribution of Coulomb stress, suggest that the June […]
Shakemap Emilia-Romagna-Modena Earthquake May 29th 2012
This map was produced automatically using the data recorded by the seismic stations near the epicenter – (red triangles in Figure 1 – see also the archive for more maps http://shakemap.rm.ingv.it/shake/archive/2012.html ). Figure 1. Shakemap (PGA) describing the shaking pattern produced by the May 29th event.

Report of the Emilia-Romagna-Modena earthquake the May 29th 2012
The 29th of May of 2012, an earthquake occurred in the North of Italy at 09:00:03 local time (07:00:03 UTC time) in the Region of Emilia-Romagna (Modena). According to the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV – http://www.ingv.it/) the magnitude of the event was Mw 5.8 and the hypocentral depth 10.2 km. The earthquake occurred at […]
The 29th May 2012 Emilia Romagna Earthquake EPICentre Field Observation Report
A team consisting of Dr Ioanna Ioannou, Randolph Borg and Jose Melo from EPICentre, and Viviana Novelli from University of Bath, travelled to the affected areas on 2nd June 2012. The team spent four days in the field, re-visiting Finale Emilia, San Felice sul Panaro, San Agostino and Mirabello as well as visiting new areas […]
Shake maps and comparison with recordings
Figure 1. The map below (Figure 2) shows the median values of PGA predicted with the Bindi et al. (2011) ground-motion prediction equation for soil type C for the horizontal component, plotted on top of the recorded values of PGA at the recording stations of the National Strong Motion Network (RAN) and the […]
