Experimental and explorational geophysics
Activities
Aurora Borealis is designed to be a combination of heavy icebreaker, a deep sea drilling (up to 1000 m in water depth of 5000 m) and a multipurpose (oceanography, biology, geology) research vessel. Aurora Borealis will operate both in ...
Bottom water masses that originate within depressions of the Antarctic shelf are important on a global scale, since they feed the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) that is responsible for the Southern Ocean overturning, transferring heat from the sub-...
Installation, management and maintenance of the Friuli Regional Deformation Network FReDNet. The network enables to measure the relative strain velocities in different areas of the region, located in a crucial point for understanding the geodynamic...
Near-field Response of a 1D-structure Alluvial Site
Here, you find a case history of the complex strong motion responses at a site with an almost 1-D structure (Buia) in the near-field of four 5.2-6.0 Mw earthquakes in the Friuli Plain of Italy. In...
During the last years, researchers from REDAS and GEMS groups developed an integrated method, aimed at the evaluation of the sensitivity of seismic waves to small quantities of CO2, oil or CH4 content in the rocks, and at verifying the feasibility...

About the project
One of the major challenges faced by European countries today is the reduction of CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change, and one of the key areas where improvements could be made easily and at low cost is the energy...
Scientists from OGS - The National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics – have been working for days to set up mobile seismometric appliances, to record the weird and noisy roars that people hear around Lapisina Valley and in...
The 11th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences, is held in July in Edinburgh, Scotland. Among other sessions, researches from OGS will present their results in the session "Geological controls on modern and past Antarctic...
