SeIsmo-Stratigraphic model of the MIlan metropolitan area (SISMI)

Description

This page provides the data and products associated with the SISMI (SeIsmo-Stratigraphic model of the MIlan metropolitan area) project, an INGV internal project aimed at the characterization of the subsoil of the Milan metropolitan area (Northern Italy). A 3D urban-scale seismo-stratigraphic model is developed based on new passive and active seismic data, supported by the available geological data and stratigraphic information from shallow and deep boreholes. In particular, 33 single-station and 4 ambient-vibration array measurements are acquired, together with 4 active multichannel analyses of surface waves (MAWS). The work is presented in Massa et al. (2022). Here, we provide the passive and active seismic data acquired in the Milan metropolitan area and the 3D seismo-stratigraphic model developed for the Plio-Quaternary sediments of the study area.

Acknowledgments

This study has been developed within the research project SISMI (SeIsmo-Stratigraphic model of the MIlan metropolitan Area), founded by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). This study has also benefited from funding provided by the agreement B2 (WP1, Task 2), DPC-INGV 2019-2021 between INGV and the Italian Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC).
