MAERS
This is the landing page for the MAERS project, which stands for Maps of seismic risk and exposure at regional scale. The MAERS project is focused on developing integrated seismic risk and exposure maps at a regional scale. The project aims to provide comprehensive and detailed information about seismic hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks in the Alto Garda region, helping to inform disaster risk reduction strategies and enhance resilience against seismic events.
The project was initially financed by the Italian ReLUIS - Rete dei Laboratori Universitari di Ingegneria Sismica, a network of university laboratories in Italy that specialize in seismic engineering research, within the award to young researchers for “20 Years of ReLUIS” anniversary.
After, the project got funding from the local government of the Autonomous Province of Trento, within the doctoral research program of the University of Trento.
The project is currently hosted in the research group of Prof. Marco Broccardo, at University of Trento.

“Qual è quella ruina che nel fianco (/) di qua da Trento l’Adice percosse, (/) o per tremoto o per sostegno manco, (/) che da cima del monte, onde si mosse, (/) al piano è sì la roccia discoscesa, (/) ch’alcuna via darebbe a chi su fosse…” (Inferno XII, 4-9)
