European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data
ASMI is part of the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD) portal, the European node for the collection and distribution of historical earthquake data in the framework of EPOS.
The archive is accessible either by earthquake or by study, and data are presented as texts (original studies, descriptions of the earthquake effects, possibly), tables (earthquake parameters, macroseismic intensities), and maps (interactive maps showing epicentres, and intensity distributions).
ASMI is a platform giving access to different studies and alternative data on the same earthquake, and is the basic tool for the collection, homogenization, comparison and validation of the data for the compilation of the Italian Macroseismic Database (DBMI), and the Parametric Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes (CPTI).
