In recent years, central Italy has been hit by major earthquakes, including two particularly deadly ones in 2009 and 2016. Along the faults, sections of mountain have subsided while others have risen, revealing sedimentary traces of the past. In Roccapreturo, Abruzzo, geologists are studying the links between tectonic activity and landscape variations, tracing up to 100,000 years of seismic history. This work could help anticipate future shocks.
