Abstract QUIN database integrates and organizes structural-geological information from published unpublished sources to constrain deformation in seismotectonic studies.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...
Summary Extensional faults in Southern Calabria (Italy) have been widely studied for their capability of generating high magnitude earthquakes (Mw 7-7.2). An example is the historical seismic sequence occurred 1783, which caused numerous fatalities near villages located along longest this region: Cittanova and Serre faults. In work, we estimated potential these two by a kinematic block modeling approach using GNSS data both campaign points permanent stations. Our results indicate that are...
The Morphotectonic Map of Mt. Etna (see attached table) is based on detailed field survey morphologic and structural features outcropping the volcanic edifice, supported by analysis, orthophotos, stereo-pair photographs satellite images. It helps to define more completely accurately than previously done network active that characterizes relationships between faulting, fissuring dyke swarms. Morpho-structural data are drawn a schematic geological map where main sedimentary units have been...
Abstract. Many destructive shallow landslides hit villages in the Peloritani Mountains area (Sicily, Italy) on 1 October 2009 after heavy rainfall. The collection of several types spatial data, together with a landslide inventory, allows assessment susceptibility by applying statistical technique. model was validated performing an analysis test using independent information, results being able to correctly predict more than 70% landslides. Furthermore, allowed identification which...
Offshore data in the western Ionian Sea indicate that NW–SE-trending dextral shear zone of Alfeo-Etna Fault System turns to N–S direction near coastline, where extensional Timpe is located. Morpho-structural show right-lateral strike-slip faults connect with upper slope volcano, eruptive activity mainly occurs along NE–SW-trending fissures. systems are related ~E–W-trending extension and they seismically active having given rise shallow low-moderate magnitude earthquakes last 150 years. As a...
Abstract An intense tectonic activity in eastern Sicily and southern Calabria (Italy) is well documented by the differential uplift of Late Quaternary coastlines record strong historical earthquakes. The extensional belt that crosses this area dominated a well‐established WNW‐ESE–oriented stretching direction. However, largely lacking any structural analysis for defining tectonics at more local scale. systematic extension joint sets affecting Pleistocene deposits presented paper allows to...
Abstract The main magma source for eruptions on Etna (Italy) is poorly constrained. Here we use data the size distributions of volcanic fissures/feeder-dykes, crater cones, dyke thicknesses, and lava flows to estimate average volume flowing out chamber during chamber. For past four centuries leaving each eruption estimated at 0.064 km 3 . From theory poroelasticity then between 69 206 comparison, a sill-like, circular (an oblate ellipsoid) 1 thick 14 in diameter would have about 154 elastic...
