#### **Sabina Porfido**

Sabina Porfido is a researcher of ISA-CNR. She is engaged in research for the evaluation and reduction of the natural hazards. The research activities is mainly focused on the study of recent and historical seismicity, macroseismic studies, seismic microzonation; Seismotectonic processes and definition of seismogenic areas; Study of induced seismic primary and secondary ground effects: new macroseismic scale (INQUA scale, 2003-2004; ESI scale, 2007). Natural hazards connected to hydrogeological events: historical floods in the Campania Region; coastal hazards; land use and resilience. She has participated in numerous national and international research projects (INQUA-TERPRO, EEE Catalogue ISPRA; Cooperazione Bilaterale Italia-Ungheria (CNR-MTA); IODP-Campi Flegrei; Proyecto de red interuniversitaria regional Italo-Centroamericana en analisis ´ de los fenomenos naturales para la evaluaci ´ on de la peligrosidad (Ministero Affari Esteri); Accordo ´ bilaterale Italia-Moldavia.

#### **Giuliana Alessio**

Giuliana Alessio is a researcher of INGV-OV. She deals mainly with seismicity and seismotectonics of active faults in the Central-Southern Apennines (Irpinia; Sannio-Beneventano; Matese chain; Salento peninsula) and in the volcanic areas of Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia island, studying their geometry and activity by space-time correlation of local seismicity, field data recognition, recent deformation data, historical seismicity. She participated to field surveys for the seismic emergencies of L'Aquila, 2009; Emilia-Romagna, 2012; Central Italy (Amatrice and Norcia) 2016; the island of Ischia, 2017; also for the Stromboli volcanic eruptions of 2002/2003 and 2019. She also has applied multiparameter approach for hydrogeologic hazard assessment in the Somma-Vesuvius and Sorrento peninsula areas. She operates for mitigation of seismic and volcanic risk with scientific dissemination activities for various national and international Institutions and geoarcheological campaigns.

#### **Germana Gaudiosi**

Germana Gaudiosi is a researcher of INGV-OV. She studies the geodynamical models of Western Mediterranean, shallow structure of volcanic areas of southern Italy from joined analysis of active and passive seismic data, deep crustal structure of Italian peninsula from active seismological techniques (Campanian volcanoes, Campanian Plain, Eolie, Etna, southern-central Appennines ,Eastern Sicily, Ionian sea). Through the integrated analysis of tectonic, seismic and gravimetric data, she performs the geometry of active/silent outcropping/buried faults of central-southern Italy (campanian Plain, Mt. Matese). She re-evaluating the macroseismic effects in MCS scale and ground effects in natural environment according to the ESI 2007 scale. She contributed in numerous national and international research projects and collaborate with Universities of Naples Federico II, University of Cosenza, University of Palermo, University of Milano, University of Trieste, University of Paris, CNR-ISA.

#### **Rosa Nappi**

Rosa Nappi is a researcher of INGV-OV. She studies the fault process in tectonic and volcanic area in the seismotectonic framework, earthquake geology and induced primary and secondary seismic ground effects. Through integrated geological and geophysical data, in GIS environment, she performs the quantitative geomorphic analysis and ground field deformation for identifying the seismogenetic source, with the aim to contribute of the evaluation and reduction of the seismic hazards. Also she re-evaluating the macroseismic effects in MCS scale and ground effects in natural environment according to the ESI 2007 scale. The recent study areas are: Salento Peninsula (Apulia Region, Southern Italy); Central Apennines (l'Aquila earthquake, Amatrice-Visso-Norcia 2016/17 seismic sequences, 2017, Casamicciola, Ischia island). She has participated in numerous national and international research projects and collaborate with Universities of Naples Federico II and University of Insubria, CNR-ISA.
