Abstract

A global catalogue of earthquake environmental effects is under construction in the frame of the activities within the 0811 INQUA project. Data collection and implementation is based on volunteer contribution by participants to the project. Based on the applications of the ESI 2007 intensity scale, the catalogue will allow an objective comparison among earthquakes over a geological time-window: in fact, the list of earthquakes will comprehend recent, historical and also paleoearthquakes. Environmental effects induced by five strong earthquakes occurred in the last four centuries in Southern Apennines (Italy) and recorded in historical sources have been reviewed and catalogued in a standard way in order to illustrate the added value provided by this approach for seismic hazard assessment and the relevant role played by the historical sources for the characterization of earthquake environmental effects in Italy.
