    New insights on the tsunami recording of the May, 21, 2003, Mw 6.9Boumerdès earthquake from tidal data analysis (2015)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-27
    Description: We analyzed sea level data from a set of tide gauge stations located in the central and western Mediter-ranean Sea, that recorded the tsunami generated by the Mw 6.8 Boumerdès earthquake striking the coastof Algeria on May 21, 2003. This earthquake caused more than 2200 victims and thousands of injured. Thecausative fault was located a few kilometers offshore and during the rupture a tsunami was triggered.Waves were felt along a large part of the western and northern Mediterranean coasts, and in the Balearicislands waves higher that 2 m were measured. In this paper we analyze a more complete tidal data set,with respect to previous studies, now consisting of 22 tidal stations located in Italy, France and Spain. Tocharacterize the change of the tidal signal at each station we used the Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD). By means of this technique, which is suitable to analyze and to characterize the dynamical behav-ior of non-stationary time series, we provide a precise measurement of the arrival times and amplitudesat the tidal stations and identify how this tsunami affected the principal and long term tidal components.Our findings improve previous results for this earthquake, since they allow the detection of significantamplitude fluctuations associated with the tsunami in the majority of stations, including the farthestones.

    Caratteristiche del Rumore Sismico nei pressi del Rilevatore di Onde Gravitazionali VIRGO (Cascina, Pisa) (2012)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-12
    Description: In questo lavoro si presentano i risultati di uno studio sulle caratteristiche del rumore sismico in prossimità del rilevatore di onde gravitazionali VIRGO (Cascina, Pisa), con particolare riferimento alle vibrazioni associate all’azione di un vicino parco eolico. La valutazione delle componenti spettrali del rumore verosimilmente indotte dagli aerogeneratori è stata effettuata mediante (i) Misure dirette alla base di una turbina, (ii) Correlazione fra le ampiezze spettrali del rumore e la velocità del vento; (iii) Determinazione delle proprietà direzionali da misure multicanale, (iv) Misura dell’attenuazione del segnale con la distanza dal parco eolico. Il disturbo provocato dagli aerogeneratori è particolarmente energetico alla frequenza di 1.7 Hz e, in particolari condizioni, è stato osservato fino a distanze di 11 km dal Parco Eolico. Il decadimento spaziale delle ampiezze ha un andamento complesso, che può essere interpretato in termini di una combinazione fra onde superficiali e onde di volume rifratte ad un’interfaccia profonda (~800 m) fra i sedimenti plio-pleistocenici ed i calcari Miocenici. La risposta locale nei dintorni dell’interferometro è stata investigata utilizzando la tecnica dei rapporti spettrali H/V. Si sono così evidenziate due bande di amplificazione imputabili ad effetti di risonanza legati alla geologia a scala locale: il primo intorno alla frequenza di 0.35 Hz, il secondo fra 0.7 e 2.0 Hz. Entrambi i picchi risultano essere essenzialmente omogenei in tutta l’area di studio, a conferma della sostanziale uniformità della struttura geologica.

    Test sites in Europe for the evaluation of ground motion amplification: site response of the Gubbio basin (Central Italy) using weak motions recorded by linear seismic arrays (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-26
    Description: The plain of Gubbio is located in a northwest-southeast oriented, 4-km wide, 20-km long intermountain basin in the northern Apennines, central Italy. The moderate-magnitude earthquakes of the 1997 Umbria-Marche seismic sequence, occurred 40 km southeast of Gubbio, generated displacements as large as 6 cm within the basin. The large amplitude phase, not observed outside of the basin, was followed by low-frequency wave trains lasting up to 1 minute. In order to investigate the mechanism of possible local amplification effects, different kind of geophysical and geological investigation of the basin started within the framework of the Italian DPC-INGV projects. In particular, the GFZ and the INGV deployed two linear seismic arrays. The first one was composed of ten seismological stations with 1-s receivers. It operated from June until December 2005. The array was oriented north-south, approximately: all the stations but two were installed on the sedimentary deposits. The remaining two stations (the northernmost and the southernmost) were installed on rock outcrops at the edges of the basin. The second array, composed by 10 stations with 5-s receivers, was deployed along the main axis of the basin, and is recording since November 2005. For 45 days, the two arrays worked simultaneously. A selected dataset of 250 earthquakes has been analyzed. H/V spectral ratio results show that systematic low-frequency (0.3-0.4 Hz) amplification affects the stations in the middle of the basin. The resonance frequency peaks are consistent with the thickness and the average S-wave velocity of soft sediments derived from microtremor measurements in the basin. The conventional spectral ratio results show a more complex broad-band (0.3-10 Hz) amplification. The analysis of selected records by means of a sonogram approach highlights the arrival of strong late phases increasing the signal duration at the stations located in the middle of the basin.

    Reference seismic velocity Earth model for Italy from local source tomography and 30 years of controlled source seismology data (2012)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-26
    Description: We present here a new high resolution regional P-wave velocity model for the lithosphere beneath the Italian region obtained by including information on the Moho topography, and integrating results from local earthquake tomography with 30 years of CSS data, applying the method of Waldhauser (1996). For the 3D moho map, we extended the crustal model, already available for the Alps by Lippitsch et al., 2003, to the Italian peninsula, Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. The tomographic model is obtained by inverting 166,000 Pg and Pn arrival times large part of which have been automatically picked and consistently weighted with an advanced automatic picking system (Aldersons, 2004). The resolution of the obtained velocity model is consistently higher and the grid spacing consistently smaller than in previous tomographic works targeting the same region. We are able to image the complex geometry of this part of the subduction-collision system between the Eurasian and African plates adding important details to the overview derived by the teleseismic tomography. Our results clearly show the plate boundary at Moho level from the Alps to the Southern Apennines and the Calabrian Arc in a volume unresolved in previous studies. The use of global 1D velocity models based on the flat Earth assumption is a pre-requisite to refine and interpret images and seismic responses of the earth obtained with geophysical studies (P and S tomography, surface wave tomography etc). Our model is suitable as a good starting point for a 3D velocity reference model of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Mediterranean area to be extended to the Adriatic Sea and to the Ionian Sea, with benefit for earthquakes location,teleseismic tomography, focal mechanisms and CMT

    Space and time variation of crustal anisotropy during the 1997 Umbria-Marche, central Italy, seismic sequence (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-30
    Description: We measure crustal anisotropy parameters from several hundreds of aftershocks (ML 〉2.5) of the 1997 Umbria–Marche seismic sequence which occurred in a carbonatic fold and thrust belt in the shallow crust of central Apennines (Italy). The analysis of shear wave polarization shows clear S-wave splitting with prevalent fast direction ∼140◦N and average delay times of 0.06 s. The observed fast direction is parallel to the strike of the activated normal-fault system and to the maximum horizontal stress (σ 2) active in the region. This is explained by the presence of stressaligned microcracks or stress-opened fluid-filled cracks and fractures within the sedimentary coverage, even if the role of structural anisotropy cannot be completely ruled out since the maximum horizontal stress is subparallel to the major structural features of the area (main thrusts and normal faults). The peculiar spatio-temporal evolution of the seismic sequence gives us also the opportunity to investigate temporal variations of anisotropic parameters. We analyse those seismogramswhose ray paths sample the crustal volume containing two of the major fault zones, before and after the occurrence of normal faulting mainshocks (Mw 〉5).We observe variations of the anisotropic parameters during the days before and after the occurrence of mainshocks and we interpret them in terms of temporal variations of anisotropic parameters. This interpretation is consistent with temporal variations of the local stress condition and of the fluid pressure in the studied crustal volume proposed in the literature. However, since the spatial sampling of the selected ray paths varies with time, we cannot exclude the contribution of spatial variations of anisotropic parameters.

    Source parameters of the 11 June 1909, Lambesc (Provence, southeastern France) earthquake: a reappraisal based on macroseismic, seismological and geodetic observations (2005)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-05
    Description: Destructive earthquakes are rare in France yet pose a sizable seismic hazard, especially when critical infrastructures are concerned. Only a few destructive events have occurred within the instrumental period, the most important being the 11 June 1909, Lambesc (Provence) earthquake. With a magnitude estimated at 6.2 [Rothé, 1942], the event was recorded by 30 observatories and produced intensity IX effects in the epicentral area, ~30 km north of Marseille. We collected 30 seismograms, leveling data and earthquake intensities to assess the magnitude and possibly the focal mechanism of this event. Following this multidisciplinary approach, we propose a source model where all relevant parameters are constrained by at least two of the input datasets. Our reappraisal of the seismological data yielded Mw 5.8-6.1 (6.0 preferred) and Ms 6.0, consistent with the magnitude from intensity data (Me 5.8) and with constraints derived from modeling of coseismic elevation changes. Hence, we found the Lambesc earthquake to have been somewhat smaller than previously reported. Our datasets also constrain the geometry and kinematics of faulting, suggesting that the earthquake was generated by reverse-right lateral slip on a WNW-striking, steeply north-dipping fault beneath the western part of the Trévaresse fold. This result suggests that the fold, located in front of the Lubéron thrust, plays a significant role in the region’s recent tectonic evolution. The sense of slip obtained for the 1909 rupture also agrees with the regional stress field obtained from earthquake focal mechanisms and microtectonic data as well as recent GPS data.

    Advances on the automatic estimation of the P-wave onset time. (2017)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-22
    Description: This work describes the automatic picking of the P-phase arrivals of the 3*10^6 seismic registers originated during the TOMO-ETNA experiment. Air-gun shots produced by the vessel “Sarmiento de Gamboa” and contemporary passive seismicity occurring in the island are recorded by a dense network of stations deployed for the experiment. In such scenario, automatic processing is needed given: (i) the enormous amount of data, (ii) the low signal-to-noise ratio of many of the available registers and, (iii) the accuracy needed for the velocity tomography resulting from the experiment. A preliminary processing is performed with the records obtained from all stations. Raw data formats from the different types of stations are unified, eliminating defective records and reducing noise through filtering in the band of interest for the phase picking. The advanced multiband picking algorithm (AMPA) is then used to process the big database obtained and determine the travel times of the seismic phases. The approach of AMPA, based on frequency multiband denoising and enhancement of expected arrivals through optimum detectors, is detailed together with its calibration and quality assessment procedure. Examples of its usage for active and passive seismic events are presented.

    Surface wave surveys for seismic site characterizationof accelerometric stations in ITACA (2012)
    Springer Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-25
    Description: This paper reports on site characterization for a set of accelerometric stations of the RAN (Italian accelerometric network) with specific attention to the shear wave velocity profile. The latter is indeed of primary importance for the usability of the accelerometric database. Surface wave analysis has been chosen as the primary investigation method since it offers the possibility of reaching the required accuracy with reasonable costs. A range of different techniques, both of the active-source and passive-source types, has been adopted to cope with the objectives of the characterization in relation to specific geological settings. Quality assessment of experimental data has been implemented to check the consistency of the measurements also with respect to the fundamental hypotheses of the method. Strategies to improve the reliability and robustness of the surface wave data inversion were exploited in order to mitigate problems arising from solution non-uniqueness and influence of higher modes in the propagation. Comparisons with independent borehole tests, available at some specific sites, confirm the reliability of the results. Although the research program covered only a subset of the network, the obtained results show the importance of specific experimental investigations aimed at estimating the shear wave velocity profile. Indeed the results lead to a re-classification of several sites with respect to the preliminary classification based on surface geology. Within this context, four selected case histories are reported in the present paper.

    Ground motion recordings from the MW 6.3 2009 L’Aquila earthquake in Italy and their engineering implications (2012)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-10-26
    Description: The 2009 L’Aquila earthquake sequence includes the April 6 Mw 6.3 main shock and triggered events on April 7 and 9, each recorded on a digital network having five stations on the hanging wall of the main shock fault. We describe a geometric source model drawing upon inversions by others. We describe record-specific ground motion data processing that includes the incorporation of static displacements of up to 13 cm (downdrop of hanging wall). The resulting database includes 47, 38, and 31 corrected triaxial recordings from the April 6, 7, and 9 events, respectively. We present site conditions for recording stations, including recent surface wave and borehole geophysics. We demonstrate that the high-frequency data are weaker than expected for normal fault earthquakes of these magnitudes and that the data attenuate with distance at rates generally consistent with modified next generation attenuation (NGA) equations for Italy that were available prior to the event.
