Imaging methods based on the absorption or scattering of atmospheric muons, collectively
named under the neologism “muography”, exploit the abundant natural flux of muons …

This paper presents an overview of the strengths and limitations of existing and emerging
geophysical tools for landform studies. The objectives are to discuss recent technical …

Alluvial valleys generate strong effects on earthquake ground motion (EGM). These effects
are rarely accounted for even in site-specific studies because of (a) the cost of the required …

Microtremor measurements and the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) technique,
generally used for site effect studies as well as to determine the thickness of soft …

Abstract Horizontal‐to‐vertical (H/V) spectral ratios of microtremors (HVRM) have been
traditionally interpreted as representing either the S‐wave amplification directly or the …

The shape of the bedrock underneath alpine glaciers bears vital information on the
erosional mechanism related to the flow of ice. So far, several geophysical exploration …

Mountain glaciers form landscapes with U-shaped valleys, roche moutonées and
overdeepenings through bedrock erosion. However, little evidence for active glacial carving …

In seismic hazard studies, site effects assessment is based on an accurate knowledge of
mechanical properties and geometry of superficial geological formations. The Lower Var …

Estimating the velocity structure of microseisms based on the horizontal-to-vertical spectral
ratio (HVSR) is an extremely practical means of modelling the subsurface structure …

By matching interpretation of seismic profiles of the Friuli pre-Alpine area with the surficial
data collected during the detailed geological survey (CARG-FVG project), we have …
