Coseismic rupture is commonly preceded by stable fault slip, which may accelerate into dynamic rupture as the slip front reaches critical velocities. However, the physical conditions that govern this nucleation process remain poorly constrained.Classical theoretical frameworks typically neglect

Delete your shapefile, share your maps: beyond static maps

Speaker: Dr. Roberto Maria Rossi (Geographic Information Systems Laboratory) - Dipartimento di Geoscienze | Tuesday 23 September 2025 | 9,30 a.m. to 12,30 p.m. | Classroom 2G

Why keep our maps in our computers when we can easily share them?We often represent the result of our analyses as geospatial data in maps. These are usually stored as project files or documents on our computers and, when shared, are often distributed only as static images or tables embedded in
