The knowledge of past earthquakes provides essential elements to understand the seismicity of a certain region and to implement proper prevention practices. An example of this is the study conducted in the Ferrara area (Po Valley) by Livio Sirovich and Franco Pettenati of the National Institute for Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS) based in Trieste, Italy. The paper is in press in the Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) of the American Geophysical Union.
The Central European Initiative (CEI) and OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale) signed a Protocol for Scientific and Technological Cooperation, on Friday 27 February 2015.
The Canadian embassy in Italy and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, under the MIUR patronage, have recently organized theItalian Ocean Technologies Innovation Mission to British Columbia. Scientists from Ogs, the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics, took part in the mission, whose goal was the promotion of a bilateral cooperation in the field of marine technologies, for their ultimate application to the observation of ocean floors and marine seabeds.….
