The intrinsic complexity of earthquake preparation
A review article, recently published in Communications Earth & Environment, produced a new summary of the physical processes leading to earthquakes. Piero Poli, researcher of the Department of Geosciences, is the co-author of the study
A first survey mission in northeastern China, aiming to study the lava tubes
The activities have been carried out in the framework of collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China University of Geosciences of Beijing. Lava tubes are a promising subject for future planetary exploration
Radon: a new perspective in the risk assessment
A study, led by the Department of Geosciences and recently published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, proposed the first geological-based method to define the radon risk.
A pseudotachylyte as a key to quantify the energy dissipated on fault during an earthquake
An international study, led by Giovanni Toffol of the Department of Geosciences and recently published in Science Advances, shed new light on the energy dissipated on fault during an earthquake.
