Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows the phenomenology and the main data that characterize the great earthquakes and seismic cycles and learns the methods of seismic hazard assessment.
Course contents
Module 1 - Paolo Gasperini
Location and magnitude
Focal mechanisms
Statistical properties of occurrence
Deterministic forecast
Macroseismology
Module 2 - Alberto Armigliato
Empirical distribution of seismic and seismic-induced phenomenologies
Notes on Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE)
Land liquefaction induced by earthquakes
Instability of slopes induced by earthquakes
Tsunamis generated by earthquakes
Module 3 - Jacopo Selva
Hazard and probability risk quantification (PHA and PRA)
Decision making and space-time scales
Random and epistemic uncertainties

Readings/Bibliography
Lesson slides
Teaching methods
Class lectures
Assessment methods
Oral exam of about 45 minutes
Three questions will be proposed, one for each of the modules of the course.
The thoroughness and correctness of the answers will be evaluated.
The grade will be an arithmetic mean of the grades of each of the questions.
