Abstract: ASZ stands for the Arraiolos Seismic Zone that was studied by Catarina Matos et al. (JGR 2018). It was rejuvenated by the 4.9 ML earthquake at Aldeia da Serra, that occurred the 15th January 2018. Only a few hours after the event the ICT (Évora) and IDL initiated the deployment of a temporary seismic network with an unprecedented density (station spacing ~2 km). I will be presenting the collective work done so far (the first 2 months of data) to characterize this seismic sequence from the seismological point of view that is surprisingly very similar to the ASZ of Matos et al. (2018). Several open questions remain that I hope to be discussed with the audience: what triggered the sequence? why there? why the focal depth is 12 to 15 km? which geological structures explain the seismic activity? What do we know about the deep crustal structure in the area?

O curso visa capacitar os formandos para a aplicação dos índices de qualidade ecológica utilizados na avaliação da qualidade ambiental em sistemas de transição, no âmbito da Diretiva Quadro da Água (DQA).

The conference aims to bring together key experts in the Medical Microwave Imaging (MMWI) field and will include invited talks, presentations and posters of peer-reviewed abstracts and conference papers, and workshops in satellite areas of research that are of interest to MMWI research.
