The study of historical earthquakes is very often the place to start in designing critical facilities. For this reason, accurate investigations on ancient events have been performed in all those countries in which the knowledge of the maximum level of hazard could directly affect the realization of important manmade structures. Italy is the most seismic area among the European industrialized co…
Geoscientists worldwide are developing and applying methodologies to estimate geologic hazards associated with the siting of nuclear facilities. Understanding such hazards, particularly in the context of the long functional lifetimes of many nuclear facilities, is challenging. This book documents the current state-of-the-art in volcanic and tectonic hazard assessment for proposed nuclear facili…
Radiogenic and stable isotopes are used widely in the earth sciences to determine the ages of rocks, meteorites and archeological objects, and as tracers to understand geological and environmental processes. Isotope methods determine the age of the Earth, help reconstruct the climate of the past, and explain the formation of the chemical elements in the Universe. This textbook provides a compre…
