Short summary
We present a dataset consisting of seismic waveforms and associated metadata to be used primarily for seismologically oriented machine-learning (ML) studies. The dataset includes about 1.3 M three-component seismograms of fixed 120 s length, sampled at 100 Hz and recorded by more than 600 stations in Italy. The dataset is subdivided into seismograms deriving from earthquakes (~ 1.2 M) and from seismic noise (~ 130 000). The ~ 54 000 earthquakes range in magnitude from 0 to 6.5 from 2005 to 2020.

This research makes available an updated and homogenous set of data related to Italian earthquakes for assessing parameters in terms of recording, event and station distributions as well as macroseismic intensity degrees. The work required the intersection of different sources and is expected to accelerate research progress in the field of hazard assessment, creation of near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity and calibration of relationships between earthquake parameters.

Thanks to technological developments, collecting seismic signals is hugely increasing. Unfortunately, having more data is subject to limited human capability of handling such data in reasonable time. That's why, in this paper, we propose to “transfer” the human experience into an artificial intelligence based system able to automatically distinguish seismometers collected data as “good” or “bad” using spectral diagram images.

The Tsunami Alert Centre of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (CAT-INGV) has been promoting the study of tsunami risk perception in Italy since 2018. A total of 7342 questionnaires were collected in three survey phases (2018, 2020, 2021). In this work we present the main results of the three survey phases, with a comparison among the eight surveyed regions and between the coastal regions and some coastal metropolitan cities involved in the survey.

We investigated the seismic fault structure and the rupture characteristics of the MW 6.6, 2 May 2020, Cretan Passage earthquake through tsunami data inverse modelling. Our results suggest a shallow crustal event with a reverse mechanism within the accretionary wedge rather than on the Hellenic Arc subduction interface. The study identifies two possible ruptures: a steeply sloping reverse splay fault and a back-thrust rupture dipping south, with a more prominent dip angle.

Southern Italy coasts are at risk of being hit by tsunamis. To address risk mitigation policies and risk communication, the authors implemented a sample survey on 1021 interviewees living in the coastal municipalities of Calabria and Apulia. People’s risk perception appears low: almost half of the sample considers tsunamis unlikely. Relevant differences emerge as a result of different risk perception in Tyrrhenian Calabria, where people are more likely to associate tsunami risk with volcanoes.

We describe here the contribution of Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanolgia (INGV) to the AlpArray Seismic Network (AASN) in the framework of the AlpArray project (http://www.alparray.ethz.ch), a large European collaborative research initiative.
The aim of AlpArray is carrying out cutting edge research to advance our understanding of the deep structure, geodynamics, tectonics and seismic hazard of the greater Alpine area (Alps-Apennines-Carpathians-Dinarides orogenic system).

We designed, setup and tested on the field an 'easy to deploy' temporary UMTS real-time seismic network resolving or minimizing the main drawbacks: Internet security, signal and service availability, power consumption.Overall this solution has proved to be a very cost effective approach with real-time data acquisition rates usually greater than 97% and all the benefits that result from the fast integration of the temporary data in the National Network monitoring system and in the EIDA data bank.
