The nonadditive entropy S q has been introduced in 1988 focusing on a generalization of
Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. The aim was to cover a (possibly wide) class of …

This review provides a summary of methods originated in (non-equilibrium) statistical
mechanics and information theory, which have recently found successful applications to …

Geomagnetic data are widely used in earthquake prediction, mantle conductivity imaging,
and other fields. However, the problem of geomagnetic data being contaminated by cultural …

Most destructive earthquakes nucleate at between 5–7 km and about 35–40 km depth.
Before earthquakes, rocks are subjected to increasing stress. Not every stress increase …

A systematic multi-parameter and multi-platform approach to study the slow process of
earthquake preparation is fundamental to gain some insights on this complex phenomenon …

Using the INGV (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) seismic catalogue,
nonextensive analysis of the instrumental seismicity of Italy was performed. The time span of …

Prior to major earthquakes many changes in the environment have been documented.
Though often subtle and fleeting, these changes are noticeable at the land surface, in water …

The earthquake anomalies associated with the 6 April 2009 M w 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake
have been widely reported. Nevertheless, the reported anomalies have not been so far …
