Development of Integrated Geophysical and Geological Information Databases for Earthquake Disaster Prevention

An integrated geological, hydrogeological and geophysical approach

This work sets out a physical-stratigraphical reconstruction of the superficial aquifer in the Brindisi area; this site is recognized to be at significant environmental risk (Law no. 426/98) by the Italian government. Geological, hydrogeological and geophysical methodologies were applied. The geological characterisation consisted of surface 5 and subsoil surveys. The existing stratigraphical, g...

Towards an Integrated Earthquake Disaster Simulation System

This paper introduces the overall structure of an integrated earthquake disaster simulation system which is being developed under five year Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas supported by the MEXT of Japan. This project aims to connect in a unity more than a dozen of simulators for individual natural phenomena and human activities involved in a big urban earthquak...
