The CRISP archive (acronym for “Caratterizzazione della RIsposta sismica dei Siti Permanenti della rete
sismica” - “Site characterization of the permanent seismic stations ”) is an integrated database that brings
together all the information useful for the seismic characterization of sites of the Italian National Seismic
Network, to provide the maximum knowledge available in an easily accessible way. The archive for a single
site collects information on position, instrumentation, instrument housing, map, geological characteristics,
seismic analysis, geophysical investigation, site classification. Field values come from already available
information or ad-hoc analysis.
Details on database and front end can be found in Menu Bar - About - Documentation.
CRISP is a "work in progress" project and it is open to later additions and improvements. All new entries
are recognisable via the last update field.
