Non invasive methods that use seismic waves to look into opaque objects
Research Departments
Seismology
Themes of Research
Analysis of the rupture process, seismicity (Earthquake distribution) and seismogenesis (Earthquake generating processes)
The study of the constant background vibrations of the Earth
Numerical methodologies that can be used to model the physical processes in the Earth
Earthquakes represent one of the most significant destructing natural hazards worldwide. Recent devastating earthquakes near cities have shown that urban areas should become the centerpiece of seismic hazard and risk studies.
