After the October 31 2002 earthquake that hit the Molise Region, surveys were started for the microzonation of the Campobasso Province.

In order to produce a homogeneous cartography for all sites of the Campobasso Province guidelines were set for the making of geological and thematic maps. These guidelines are based essentially on the criteria established for the CARG project (Quaderni SGN, serie III) and on the contents discussed by the Comitato di Area dell'Appennino meridionale (Southern Apennines Local Committee).

Abstract
After the October 31 2002 earthquake that hit the Molise Region, surveys were started for the microzonation of the Campobasso Province. Approximately 150 strategic sites were studied in the period between 2004 and 2007. In order to produce a homogeneous cartography for all sites of the Campobasso Province guidelines were set for the making of geological and thematic maps. These guidelines are based essentially on the criteria established for the CARG project (Quaderni SGN, serie III) and on the contents discussed by the Comitato di Area dell'Appennino meridionale (Southern Apennines Local Committee). The adoption of CARG criteria for the making of technical maps at a local scale allowed fulfilling the technical purpose of the project without renouncing to the geological significance of the studied areas and preserving homogeneity of geological information at regional scale.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
