Projects
A Digital Twin for Geophysical extremes (DT-GEO) is a European project aimed at analysing and forecasting the impact of tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, and anthropogenic seismicity. The project relies on the cooperative networks of 26 research institutions, building upon existing knowledge from other European projects and Centres of Excellence and pushing it forward. To achieve its goals, DT-GEO will build the components of a Digital Twin- virtual replica of physical systems that combine real-time data streams and high-fidelity models helping to address specific scientific questions and technical challenges related to hazard assessment, early warning forecast, or urgent computing. Digital twins will be built on interactive digital platforms, which allow for continuous observation and simulation of supercomputing tasks to recreate present and future scenarios. DT-GEO capitalises on the outburst of supercomputing and technical capabilities to carry out advanced, real-time modelling and analysis for diagnostics and forecasting.

The physics of earthquake faulting: learning from laboratory earthquake prediction to improve forecasts of the spectrum of tectonic failure modes - TECTONIC (ERC Advanced Grant; PI Chris Marone). Recent advances showed that lab-engineered earthquakes can be predicted using machine learning (ML). The tremors are preceded by a cascade of micro-failure events that radiate elastic energy in a manner that foretells catastrophic failure. ML can thus predict the failure time, and in some cases, the magnitude of lab earthquakes.
The project (2020-2025) will connect these results with field observations and ML tosearch for earthquake precursors and build predictive models for tectonic faulting. The project's multidisciplinary team aims to train the next generation of researchers inearthquake science and foster a new level of broad community collaboration.

Earthquakes are the deadliest natural hazard. Developing tools and measures to reduce future human and economic losses is the aim of RISE. RISE stands for Real-time earthquake risk reduction for a resilient Europe and is a three-year project (2019-2021) financed by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. It started in September 2019 and will end in August 2022. RISE is coordinated by ETH Zurich, it brings together 19 organisations from across Europe and five international partners.

TABOO is a multidisciplinary research infrastructure composed of a local and permanent dense seismic, geodetic and geochemical network built by INGV to study the deformation processes active along an active fault system. The area we selected as a natural laboratory is placed in the Northern Apennines where is detected the Alto Tiberina fault (ATF), one rare example of an active low angle (dipping at 15°) normal fault (LANF), worldwide. This fault that accumulated 2 km of displacement over the past 2 Ma is located in a densely-populated area along a sector of the chain undergoing a NE-trending extension rate of 2-3 mm/yr. The possibility that moderate-to-large earthquakes nucleate on LANFs (dipping less than 30°) accommodating extension of continental crust is widely debated in the published literature. The availability of multidisciplinary high-resolution data, besides being a fundamental requirement to understand the physics of faulting, is a prerequisite to evaluate the seismic hazard associated to geologic structures.

The European Plate Observing System, is a long-term plan to facilitate integrated use of data, data products, and facilities from distributed research infrastructures for solid Earth science in Europe.
EPOS will bring together Earth scientists, national research infrastructures, ICT (Information & Communication Technology) experts, decision makers, and public to develop new concepts and tools for accurate, durable, and sustainable answers to societal questions concerning geo-hazards and those geodynamic phenomena (including geo-resources) relevant to the environment and human welfare. EPOS vision is that the integration of the existing national and trans-national research infrastructures will increase access and use of the multidisciplinary data recorded by the solid Earth monitoring networks, acquired in laboratory experiments and/or produced by computational simulations. The establishment of EPOS will foster worldwide interoperability in the Earth sciences and services to a broad community of users. EPOS mission is to integrate the diverse and advanced European Research Infrastructures for solid Earth science, and build on new e-science opportunities to monitor and understand the dynamic and complex solid-Earth System. EPOS will identify existing gaps and promote implementation plans with environmental, marine and space science to help solve the grand challenges facing the Earth and its inhabitants.
Within this framework, I am the (WP09) Near Fault Observatory (one of the 10 Thematic communities producing services) leader.

The Alto Tiberina fault (ATF) in the Northern Apennines is a low-angle normal fault (mean dip 20°) that is the target of The Alto Tiberina Near Fault Observatory (TABOO), a multidisciplinary research infrastructure managed by INGV and part of the European Plate Observing System. A STrainmeter ARray in shallow boreholes (STAR) will complement and enhance TABOO monitoring infrastructure. STAR will consist of six 80-160 m deep vertical boreholes covering the portion of the ATF that exhibits REs at shallow depth (~4 km), instrumented with strainmeters, downhole seismometers and pressure transducers. I am the PI of the project.
