Silvia Brizzi

Silvia Brizzi is a fixed-term researcher at the Laboratory of Experimental Tectonics (Science Department, Univeristy of Roma Tre). By combining analog and numerical modelling with natural data analysis, her research aims at better understanding the relationship between long-term tectonics and seismicity of subduction zones. Her current project focuses on the interaction between the seismic cycle of the subduction megathrust and the forearc topography.

Exploring Submap: Subduction Zones Data Mapping and Analysis in just a few clicks

Subduction zones are areas where one tectonic plate dives beneath another one and sinks into the Earth’s mantle, creating powerful earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Understanding the intricate details of subduction zones can be a daunting task, and retrieving the necessary data often feels like an uphill battle. But fear not! The Geosciences Montpellier Laboratory in France has come to the rescu ...[Read More]

#OnTheRocks – Because Earth is just beautiful!

From the time the first Kodak camera in 1888 went on sale we can say with confidence a geologist somewhere was trying to capture field photographs. We love to capture the beauty of the field and every geologist has a story to tell. The EGU would like to connect these stories globally in our new #OnTheRocks series. #OnTheRocks will produce a compilation of geological photographs on different scales ...[Read More]

#ShareEGU20: How to turn your research into an attractive display

In response to the growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus and travel restrictions, in-person attendance for the EGU General Assembly 2020 in Vienna has been cancelled. The conference is instead being transformed into a virtual event, where attendees can remotely share their research by uploading presentation material online.  Let’s be honest: digital alternatives don’t replicate the i ...[Read More]
