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...

Strong historical earthquakes and their relationships with the Tan-Lu fault system and modern seismicity in eastern China
The largest earthquake (M s 8½) in eastern China occurred near Tancheng in 1668. Six M ≥ 6 earthquakes occurred in this region in historical time. We...
