Ground motion simulations of historical earthquakes: the case study of the Fabriano (1741, Mw = 6.1) and Camerino (1799, Mw = 6.1) earthquakes in central Italy
The determination of ground motion is crucial to plan the appropriate emergency activities, especially in areas characterised by an intense seismic...

Characterization of historical earthquakes through a study of landslides by lichenometry (Murcia, SE Iberia)
Earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 4.5–5 induce massive rockfalls close to the fault rupture zone. Driven by seismic shaking, the blocks...
