Our research activities include:
- monitoring, mapping and analysis of seismic activity in the central Mediterranean in particular around the Maltese islands, and identify active faults in the sea bed of the Sicily Channel
- crustal structure and attenuation properties
- enhancing the epicentral location capability in the Central Mediterranean
- focal mechanisms of small earthquakes
- single-station epicentre location
- seismic site response studies
- ground motion prediction
- seismic hazard and seismic risk for the Maltese islands
- tectonics and geodynamics of the Central Mediterranean.
