SubSpread Subaqueous spreading: characteristics, evolution and its suitability as a paleoseismic proxy

Coordinator: UNIVERSITA TA MALTA (MT)

Soil spreading is an extensional creeping movement occurring along a shear surface and caused by liquefaction of a gliding plane. Spreading has been documented at many sites worldwide, and it represents an hazard for subaqueous and land infrastructures. Geological factors influencing the mechanics of spreading and its development have not been extensively explored. This proposal focuses on characterising the subaqueous spreading and investigating its triggers and development mechanisms, with the final purpose of testing the use of the spreading signature as a new proxy for paleoseismic resear…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2021-01-11 to 2023-01-10.
