About us

The Adriatic region is highly exposed to natural hazards, especially earthquakes. The eastern Adriatic Plate, our focus area, offers a unique opportunity to explore the causes of these risks.

DEFORM’s goal is to model plate deformation and geohazards using advanced technologies like digital imaging, seismotectonic analysis, and numerical simulations.

Through collaboration, workshops, and partnerships, we integrate real-world data into 3D models. Our work aims to improve geohazard understanding and risk assessment in the Adriatic region.
