On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering, as part of the research project of the Croatian Science Foundation “Amplification of seismic ground motion caused by topographic effects in Northern Croatia – SIGMATOPCRO”, organized a round table on the topic “Earthquakes in Northern Croatia”. The Round Table aims to contribute to social and public awareness of earthquakes through expert lectures and constructive panel discussions.
Experts in the field of seismology held the lectures, Asst. Prof. Davor Stanko from the Geotechnical Faculty, Prof. Ph.D. Snježana Markušić from the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Zagreb, M.Sc. Ines Ivančić and Tomislav Fiket, B.Sc., managers of the Croatian Seismological Survey and representatives of the Directorate of Civil Protection, Nedeljko Kučej, M.Sc.crim. and Nika Markoč, mag.ing.admin.chris.
Head of the Seismological Service of the Republic of Croatia, M.Sc. sc. Ines Ivančić presented the seismicity of Northern Croatia.
The activities of research projects related to the area of Northern Croatia were also presented: SIGMATOPCRO – Amplification of seismic ground motion caused by topographic effects in Northern Croatia, SeisRICHerCRO – Seismic risk assessment of cultural heritage buildings in Croatia, CRONOS – Investigation of seismically vulnerable areas in Croatia and seismic ground motion assessment. Project manager Tomislav Fiket, B.Sc. through the presentation of project activities presented the activities of the CROSSNET project “Development of a network of seismological data whose goal is the improvement and expansion of the existing network of seismological stations in the Republic of Croatia”. As part of the Round Table, a panel discussion was held for all guests, the interested public and the media.
