Abstract: "Since mid-May 2012, an energetic seismic sequence has affected the northern part of Italy and specifically a wide sector of the Po River Plain. The sequence has been dominated by two main events: a) Mw = 5.9 occurred near Finale Emilia on May 20th at a depth of 6.3 km, and b) Mw=5.8 occurred […]
Abstract: "In the past three years a wide literature related to the 2012 Emilia seismic sequence and its induced environmental effects has been produced. Despite the important and numerous seismic datasets and coseismic effects catalogues built up until present, one uniformed catalogue is still missing. This lack has oriented our work towards the implementation of […]

Abstract: "In the aftermath of an earthquake, pseudo-scientific, scaremongering rumors spread very quickly and with greater effect than correct scientific information. The aim of this article is to describe the authors’ observations and examine how rumors linked to seismic shocks spread in the community following the strong 2012 seismic sequence in Emilia (northern Italy). During […]
Abstract: "Since May 16, 2012, a seismic sequence has affected a wide portion of the Emilia Region (northern Italy), chiefly for the Modena and Ferrara Provinces. The first mainshock (Ml 5.9; focal depth, ca. 6 km) occurred on May 20, 2012, with the epicenter located a few kilometers north of Finale Emilia. A second main […]
