The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, INGV, publishes the new version of THEMSELVES (Italian Present-day Stress Indicators), the online database relating to the orientations of the active stress field in Italy, updated in December 2017.
Today the database contains 911 data relating to information on the state of crustal stress up to a maximum depth of 40 km, grouped into the following main categories: breakout along deep bores, focal mechanisms, active fault data
These are original and partly revised data that have undergone a thorough scientific evaluation process before being included in this database. All data were analyzed with standard criteria in order to make them comparable with similar data on a global scale. The data can be downloaded in different formats.

The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, INGV, publishes the new version of IPSI (Italian Present-day Stress Indicators), the on line database of the contemporary stress field orientations in Italy, updated to December 2017.
Nowadays the database contains 911 data on the present-day stress field down to maximum 40 km depth, from different stress indicators grouped in the following main categories: borehole breakouts, earthquake focal mechanisms, active fault-slip data.
It consists of horizontal stress orientations analyzed and compiled in a standardized format and quality-ranked for reliability and comparability on a global scale. The users can download the dataset in different format.
