Abstract Starting from 24 August 2016, a long seismic sequence, including nine M w > 5.0 earthquakes, struck wide area of the Central Italy. A large amount geological, geodetic, and seismological data envisages complex system NNW‐SSE trending, seismogenic normal faults. These active tectonic structures are well known at surface consistent with previous seismotectonic studies. In order to improve comprehension framework this we provide novel reconstruction subsurface geology close Norcia...
In 2016–2017, a destructive sequence of earthquakes affected wide portion Central Italy, activating complex, 80-km long system SW-dipping normal faults and causing impressive surface faulting widespread damage. Former studies providing reconstructions the fault systems activated during this sequence, are mostly based on high-resolution seismological geodetic data. paper, we integrate subsurface geological data with ones obtained by an irregular network seismic reflection profiles, aimed at...
Abstract QUIN database integrates and organizes structural-geological information from published unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies. The initial release, QUIN1.0, comprised 3,339 Fault Striation Pairs, mapped on 445 sites exposed along the Quaternary faults of central Italy. present Data Descriptor introduces 2.0 which includes 4,297 Pairs 738 Structural Sites southern newly investigated span ~500 km Apennines chain, with strikes transitioning ~SE ~SW...
In this paper, the CROP03-deep seismic reflection profile in Northern Apennines is described and re-considered light of new geophysical data interpretations made available last five years (particularly from heat flow measurements, aeromagnetics, tomography, active stress determination passive seismology). The crustal structure shown to be composed two distinct domains. To west Tyrrhenian domain east Adriatic domain. These domains have distinctive geological characteristics that exhibit...
Broad geological and geophysical documentation is available on regional extensional systems driven by low‐angle normal faults. However, little information exists about the three‐dimensional geometry offset distribution of such structures. We present a new set balanced sections across fault system Altotiberina in Northern Apennines Italy. document this throughout large surface (field surveys maps) subsurface data (seismic reflection profiles boreholes). The allowed us to define deep obtain...
Analysis of seismicity can illuminate active fault zone structures but also deformation within large volumes the seismogenic zone. For M
Abstract Studying faults capable of releasing moderate-to-strong earthquakes is fundamental for seismic hazard studies, especially in a territory that was subject to the strongest peninsular Italy earthquake (1857, M w 7.1) and hosting largest European oil field on-land. Fieldwork-based observations Campania-Lucania area highlight SSW-dipping ~ 65 km-long normal-oblique-segmented fault, showing evidence recent activity possibly responsible 1857 earthquake. It crosses Maddalena ridge, linking...
In March 2021, a compressional earthquake sequence (mainshock Mw 5.2) occurred in the Central Adriatic Sea, offshore Croatia. The struck area is characterized by complex tectonic settings due to interaction between and halokinetic structures. Former studies this region, mostly based on geophysical seismological data, do not provide comprehensive description of geological complexities area, caused presence different types active Following interpretation depth conversion set seismic reflection...
The northern Apennines of Italy are characterized by a complex Tertiary tectonic history, where superposed compressional and extensional deformation occurred. In such regions, low active strain rate, the coseismic surface ruptures rare often matter much debate resulting in difficult connection between “geological” faults (i.e., which can be mapped at surface) “seismological” actually generate earthquakes). availability detailed geological mapping high‐resolution seismological data for...
We reconstruct the subsurface geology in a region of northern Apennines (central Italy) where protracted extensional sequence occurred 1997–1998 with maximum magnitude M = 6.0. Our study is mainly based on interpretation three reprocessed seismic reflection profiles crossing epicentral area, which constrain geometry to depth about 12 km most shallow seismicity occurs. Comparing setting accurately determined earthquake locations, we find that located entirely within sedimentary cover and does...
