Abstract
According to the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Hazards Program, a seismic swarm is “a localized surge of earthquakes, with no one shock being conspicuously larger than all other shocks of the swarm. They might occur in a variety of geologic environments and are not known to be indicative of any change in the long‐term seismic risk of the region in which they occur” (http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/Seismicity/description_earthquakes.html).

According to the U.S Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Program, a seismic swarm is “a localized surge of earthquakes, with no one shock being conspicuously larger than all other shocks of the swarm
The project focused on monitoring swarm activity occurring in the Pollino range in Southern Apennines, Italy
The Pollino range is located at the northernmost edge of the Calabrian Arc, the last oceanic subduction segment along the Nubian-Eurasian plate
Summary
According to the U.S Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Program, a seismic swarm is “a localized surge of earthquakes, with no one shock being conspicuously larger than all other shocks of the swarm. They might occur in a variety of geologic environments and are not known to be indicative of any change in the long-term seismic risk of the region in which they occur” (http://vulcan .wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/Seismicity/description _earthquakes.html). To gain insight into the nature of seismic swarms in nonvolcanic areas and to better understand their influence on seismic hazards, the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) and the German Research Centre for Geoscience (GFZ) began a combined research project within the framework of the Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation (NERA; see http://www.nera -eu.org/).
