Summary
The course will provide students with theoretical and technical knowledge on seismic hazard assessment, at different spatial scales, aimed at risk analysis at different time scales (long-term and short-term forecasts). Concepts of mullti-hazard and multi-hazard analysis will also be introduced and discussed. To this end, the physical basis, different methodologies applicable to various contexts, and Italian and international guidelines and regulations will be described and critically discussed.
