Swarm-like Seismicity

Earthquake swarms are clusters of earthquakes recorded globally in tectonically active regions, volcanoes, and industrial activities related to georesource exploitation. Foreshocks and complex seismic sequences with multiple large earthquakes can be included in a broader definition of swarm-like seismicity. They all share common driving mechanisms but are often studied separately in seismology, volcanology, and anthropogenic seismicity.

The goal of this workshop is to deepen our understanding of swarm-like seismicity physics and statistics, their driving processes, their natural habitat, and foster a systematic transfer of expertise and techniques for analyzing those sequences across seismology, volcanology and anthropogenic seismicity.

Scientific sessions:

1) Analysis of seismicity from waveform to catalogs and beyond.

2) Physical processes leading to the occurrence of swarm-like seismicity.

3) The crustal/rock habitat of swarm-like seismicity and complex sequence from independent observations.

4) Seismicity and geology of the Pollino range.

Abstract submission deadline 31 July 2024

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE 31 July 2024

The workshop venue and the accommodations in the town of Castrovillari are limited to a maximum number of around 60 participants.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee participation to the workshop at the time of the abstract submission. After the abstract submission deadline, the scientific and local committee will evaluate and select from the submitted abstracts based on scientific value and relevance to the themes of the workshop. In case the maximum number of participants is not reached at the abstract submission deadline, we will accept additional abstracts on the first-come first-served basis.
