SPECIAL ISSUE DEADLINE EXTENSION - May 31: Integrating Multi-Scale and Multidisciplinary Approaches in Seismic Microzonation of Volcanic Areas
2026-05-04
We are pleased to inform authors that the submission deadline has been extended to 31 May 2026
The assessment of local seismic hazard in active volcanic regions poses specific challenges, owing to the highly complex geological architecture and distinctive seismological behavior, which differ markedly from those in more stable tectonic settings.
Seismicity in these regions is typically clustered and characterized by low to moderate magnitude events. This is particularly evident in Italy, where the shallow depth of earthquake hypocenters has significantly increased their impact on the territory, as shown by recent events on the island of Ischia (2017), the eastern flank of Mount Etna (2018), and in the Campi Flegrei area over the past two years.
