  • Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEE) include all phenomena generated by a seismic event in the natural environment. They can be categorized in primary effects, i.e. the surface expression of the seismogenic source, and secondary effects, mostly induced by the vibratory ground motion. EEEs were included in the macroseismic intensity assessment since the very beginning. Then, their use for intensity evaluation was progressively disregarded. Recently, their relevance has been again pointed out by the ESI 2007 scale, which provides an added value to traditional intensity evaluations being applicable also in not inhabited areas and not afflicted by saturation of all diagnostic effects. We present a catalogue of Earthquake Environmental Effects compiled at global level by the INQUA TERPRO Project #0811 Working Group coordinated by ISPRA – Geological Survey of Italy. The catalogue is still under implementation and collects the EEE characteristics, size and spatial distribution in a standard way from modern, historical and paleoseismic earthquakes. For each event, we have assessed ESI epicentral and local intensities based on EEE data. This procedure has allowed an objective comparison in terms of earthquake intensity, for events occurred in different areas and/or in different periods. For modern events, EEE datasets are the most detailed and complete and in fact ESI intensity assessments are reliable and consistent with instrumental magnitudes. For well documented historical events, the EEE characteristics, size and distribution allow to define a minimum ESI epicentral intensity value, that may even significantly differ from traditional damage based intensity assessments. For paleoearthquakes occurred in a 104 yrs time window, the catalogue typically collects the local expression of surface faulting in terms of vertical offsets. Similarly to magnitude empirical estimates, this is an helpful information for a minimum ESI epicentral intensity assessment. (literal)
