The volume "New Perspectives in the Definition/Evaluation of Seismic Hazard through Analysis of the Environmental Effects Induced by Earthquakes".
The book was edited by the researcher Sabina Porfido of the ISA-CNR (Institute of Food Sciences of the National Research Council) and by the researchers of the INGV - OV (Vesuvian Observatory of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) Giuliana Alessio, Germana Gaudiosi and Rosa Nappi.
The volume, available in PDF and hard copy format, collects numerous contributions whose objective is the definition and evaluation of the seismic hazard through the analysis of the environmental effects induced by earthquakes.
The application of the 2007 Seismic Intensity Scale (ESI) to moderate and severe earthquakes, in different geological contexts around the world, highlights the importance of the Environmental Effects of Earthquakes (EEE) for seismic risk assessment. The contribution of new multidisciplinary methodologies is essential both for the identification and characterization of seismically active areas and for the development of new risk models.
Inside 19 peer-reviewed articles related to different areas of the world: Italy, USA, Spain, Australia, Ecuador, Guatemala, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, China, Japan and Nepal, which provide interesting and useful indications for seismic hazard assessment in different contexts.
Expert national and international researchers have contributed to the drafting of the volume.

The evaluation of the seismic hazard through the analysis of the environmental effects: new perspectives in a volume just published
The MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) book of Special Issue: New Perspectives in the Definition/Evaluation of Seismic Hazard through Analysis of the Environmental Effects Induced by Earthquakes Edited By: S. Porfido, G. Alessio, G. Gaudiosi, R. Nappi has been published in print edition and in PDF. This volume collects different papers that have as their objective the definition and evaluation of the seismic hazard through the analysis of the environmental effects induced by earthquakes. The application of the 2007 seismic intensity scale (ESI) to moderate and strong earthquakes, in different geological contexts around the world, highlights the importance of the environmental effects of earthquakes (EEE) for the assessment of seismic risk.
The contribution of new multidisciplinary methodologies are essential both for the identification and characterization of seismicly active areas, and for the development of new risk models. The volume contains 19 peer-reviewed articles related to different areas of the world: Italy, USA, Spain, Australia, Ecuador, Guatemala, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, China, Japan and Nepal, which provide interesting and useful information for the assessment of seismic hazard in different contexts.
Experts from national and international researchers contributed to the drafting of the volume.
