João Fontiela holds an MSc in Spatial Planning and a Ph.D. in Earth and Space Sciences with a specialization in Geophysics (seismology). As a researcher at the ICT - Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Évora, he combines a passion for scientific discovery with a commitment to engaging the public and collaborating across disciplines. João has published extensively in SCI and Scopus-indexed peer-reviewed journals and books, and he has shared his work in over 50 presentations at scientific conferences. His expertise includes deploying seismic sensors for passive monitoring across mainland Portugal and responding rapidly to volcanic unrest in the Azores Archipelago. Beyond his academic work, João is dedicated to raising awareness about seismic hazards and risks. He has led innovative citizen science projects, such as installing seismic sensors with local communities to provide real-time data for researchers and stakeholders. He also regularly visits schools, bringing seismology to life through storytelling, hands-on activities, and technology to inspire students and promote scientific literacy. João actively contributes to both national (FCT-funded) and international projects, with research interests spanning volcanic seismology, seismic noise, observational seismology, seismic tomography, seismic arrays, and environmental seismology. His work reflects a balance of cutting-edge research, meaningful community engagement, and education to tackle the challenges of understanding and preparing for seismic activity.

  3. The largest earthquakes in Algeria in the modern period: the El Asnam and Zemmouri-Boumerd s faults. Algeria has experienced many destructive earthquakes during the last few centuries (e.g., Ayadi and Bezzeghoud, 2015). The city of El Asnam (formerly Orléanville, today Chlef) was severely damaged in 1954 and 1980 by magnitude 6.7 and 7.3 earthquakes, respectively. On October 10, 1989, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the Mont Chenoua-Tipasa coastal area approximately 150 km west of Zemmouri, whi. 2017.

  4. Large earthquakes in the Azores. The history of the Azores archipelago, from its discovery and settlement in the rst half of the 15th century through the present, is marked by the social and economic impacts produced by earthquakes, mainly the high-intensity ones. Information that has been compiled leads to the conclusion that in this period, 33 earthquakes with intensity equal to or greater than VII have affected the Azores, whi. 2017.

One condition to perform seismic hazard analysis is knowledge about seismogenic zones that is an invaluable source of information and play an important role because it is fundamental know the processes and properties that control the seismogenic zone. The aim of this work is distinguishing seismogenic zones in the Azores region applying different parameters such as the earthquake density, b-values. 2014.
