VUB Research on the Long-Term Development of Earthquake-Related Faults in Central Italy

Literal groundbreaking research by Dr. Giorgio Arriga, conducted as part of a joint PhD program between Roma TRE University and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), enhances our understanding of the long-term evolution of seismogenic (earthquake-related) faults in the Apennines of Central Italy. Arriga’s study examines the development of fault systems over millions of years and their impact on present-day seismic hazards. His research included an investigation of faults in the L’Aquila Basin, a region severely affected by a major earthquake in 2009 that claimed over 300 lives, leading to a significant discovery.
