  • Homogeneous Magnitude Data

    Different criteria in the last decades provide different instrumental magnitudes of Italian earthquakes (Gasperini et al., 2013a).
    In the last few years, we calibrated conversion relationships between various types of traditional magnitudes (ML, Md, Ms, mb) and moment magnitude Mw (Lolli and Gasperini, 2012; Gasperini et al., 2012, 2013a, 2013b; Lolli et al., 2014, 2015, 2018) in order to obtain a homogenous catalog of instrumental earthquakes in terms of Mw.
