An Italian court’s decision to sentence seven earthquake experts to six years in jail for failing to predict the deadly temblor in the town of L’Aquila will have a chilling effect on science, the head of the country’s main geological research institute said.
A court in L’Aquila convicted the seven yesterday on charges of manslaughter for failing to predict the quake in April 2009 that killed more than 300 people.
“After today, it will be difficult to appear in public and talk about seismic activity in Italy because of the possibility that researchers can face accusation over any omissions,†Professor Stefano Gresta, president of the National Institute of Geophyisca and Vulconology, said in an e-mailed statement after the verdict.
“We are particularly struck by the sentence in L’Aquila because it risks undermining one of the cardinal truths of scientific research -- the freedom to investigate, to have open and transparent discussion and to share results -- things that are fundamental to scientific progress.â€
