Cultural heritage and earthquakes: bridging the gap between geophysics, archaeoseismology and engineering
Laura Pecchioli, Francesco Panzera, Valerio Poggi
Abstract
This is the editoral of a special issue that is focused on the multidisciplinary approach to cultural heritage preservation, with \nspecial care to the impact of earthquakes and their \nassociated effects. For that, we have collected a number \nof representative studies involving the different research \nfields, each addressing the problem through a specialized methodological perspective. The final goal is to set \nup a common ground for interaction, highlighting the \nneed for scientific collaboration and coordinated inter- \nvention. Below, we briefly summarize the main contri- \nbutions to this special issue, which have been rationally \nsorted to highlight the diversity in the backgrounds of \nthe different authors and in their methodological approaches, but at the same time to emphasize similar \naspects of the addressed problematics and common \nobjectives.
