### **About the Editors**

#### **Sabina Porfido**

Dr. Sabina Porfido is engaged in research on the evaluation and reduction of natural hazards. The research activities mainly address the study of recent and historical seismicity, macroseismic studies, seismic microzonation, seismotectonic processes and the definition of seismogenic areas, as well as the study of induced seismic effects: primary and secondary ground effects, and a new macroseismic scale for the evaluation of the effects induced by the environment (INQUA scale, 2003–2004; ESI scale, 2007). She also researches natural hazards connected to hydrogeological events: floods in the Campania region, coastal hazards; the environment, 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; study of the surface faulting accompanying the 2017 Casamicciola earthquake (Ischia Island); Proyecto de red interuniversitaria regional Italo-Centroamericana en analisis de los fen ´ omenos naturales para la ´ evaluacion de la peligrosidad en Centro Am ´ erica (Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador-Ministero ´ Affari Esteri-Cooperazione allo sviluppo); Accordo bilaterale Italia-Moldavia.

#### **Giuliana Alessio**

Dr. Giuliana Alessio mainly deals with the 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 according to the space–time correlation of local seismicity, field data recognition, recent deformation data, and historical seismicity. She participated in field surveys for the seismic emergencies of L'Aquila, 2009; Emilia-Romagna, 2012; Central Italy (Amatrice and Norcia) 2016; the island of Ischia, 2017; as well as for the Stromboli volcanic eruptions of 2002/2003 and 2019. She also has applied the multiparameter approach for hydrogeologic hazard assessment in the Somma-Vesuvius and Sorrento peninsula areas. She operates for the mitigation of seismic and volcanic risk with scientific dissemination activities for various national and international Institutions and geoarcheological campaigns.

#### **Germana Gaudiosi**

Dr. Germana Gaudiosi studies the geodynamical models of Western Mediterranean and 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 (Vesuvio, Campi Flegrei, Ischia, Campanian Plain, Eolie, Etna, southern-central Appennines, Eastern Sicily, Ionian sea). Moreover, through the integrated analysis of tectonic, seismic and gravimetric data, she found the geometry of active/silent outcropping/buried faults of Central-Southern Italy (campanian Plain, Mt. Matese, central Apennines). Additionally, she re-evaluated the macroseismic effects at the MCS scale and ground effects in natural environment according to the ESI 2007 scale. She has participated in numerous national and international research projects and collaborated 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**

Dr. Rosa Nappi 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 (surface coseismic deformation) and geophysical data, processed in GIS environment, she performed a quantitative geomorphic analysis and ground field deformation to identify the seismogenetic source, with the aim to contribute to the evaluation and reduction of seismic hazards. Additionally, she re-evaluated the macroseismic effects in MCS scale and ground effects in a natural environment according to the ESI 2007 scale. The recent study areas are as follows: Salento Peninsula (Apulia Region, Southern Italy); Central Apennines (l'Aquila earthquake and Amatrice-Visso-Norcia 2016/17 seismic sequences, Ischia island (August 21, 2017, Casamicciola earthquake; Campanian Plain. She has participated in numerous national and international research projects (INQUA project; METIQ Project; INGV Ricerca Libera; FAC Project) and collaborated with the Universities of Naples Federico II, University of Insubria and CNR-ISA.

#### **Alessandro Maria Michetti**

Prof. Alessandro Maria Michetti. Author of more than 94 papers, with 2809 citations (Scopus 11 September 2022). Most of my research is focused on the reconstruction of the recent landscape evolution to define geological criteria for assessing natural hazards, particularly seismicity. This includes the integration of historical and instrumental seismicity data with observations from Quaternary, predominantly Holocene, stratigraphy, geomorphology and tectonics, to understand the styles and rates of ongoing crustal deformation, and their interaction with climatically controlled surface processes and, with that information, define the seismic potential at both local and regional scales. This research ranges from laboratory analysis of vintage airphoto coverages and topographic imagery, to the field mapping of recent landforms and deposits, to geomorphic reconstruction of slip rates and paleoearthquake histories of capable faults, as well as detailed studies of trench exposures showing evidence for Holocene earthquake surface faulting. Of particular interest for my research is the study of earthquake ground effects and their use in macroseismic intensity scales. Recent and ongoing projects in which I am involved include: a study of the surface faulting accompanying the August 23 and October 30, 2016, Amatrice and Norcia earthquakes in Central Italy; Surface (INQUA Project 1620R) SURface FAUlting Catalogue, worldwide dataset of Surface Ruptures generated during earthquakes to build reliable empirical relationships (http://www.earthquakegeology.org/index.php?page=projects&s=4).
