Mapping the geomorphological scenarios of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region (NE Italy): a tool for the evaluation of the local seismic amplification

The Friuli Venezia Giulia Region was affected by several destructive earthquakes over the last centuries. In order toidentify the causes of the local seismic amplification, geomorphological scenarios has been proposed. They representthe site-specific geological, geomorphological and topographical characteristics (geo-morphotypes). We represent thewhole region in terms of these geo-morphotypes in a map.

La Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia è stata interessata da numerosi e disastrosi eventi simici. Anche al fine di individuarele cause dell’amplificazione sismica locale, sono stati individuati e cartografati in ambiente GIS gli scenarigeomorfologici che possono generare amplificazione del moto sismico locale.
