    Description: Stress inversion of the twenty best-quality earthquake fault-plane solutions available in the area of the 1908 Messina earthquake showed a nearly uniform extensional regime with σmin constrained between N284°E and N312°E, coinciding with the direction of extension derived from geostructural data. The misfits of earthquake nodal planes and related slip vectors to the stress tensor allowed us to identify the fault planes of thirteen of the earthquakes used for inversion. In particular, the fault plane of 1908 earthquake was found in the north-trending east-dipping nodal plane of the focal mechanism. These findings and strain tensor estimates performed with the same dataset lead us to propose that in spite of stress uniformity detected over the study area the seismic strain orientations change significantly in the crustal volume under investigation due to different fault orientations in the different sectors. However, when comparing strong earthquakes with background seismicity in a given sector the strain orientations are found to be similar.

    Description: Changes in Coulomb failure stress (ΔCFS) induced by dike propagation during two flank eruptions on Mt. Etna (1981 and 2001) are calculated for the most seismically active faults on the east slope of the volcano (the right-lateral Timpe fault system, oriented NNW-SSE, and the left-lateral Pernicana fault, oriented E-W). Calculations performed using Coulomb 2.5 software indicate that intrusion of a NNW dike on the NW side of the volcano (1981 eruption) rises ΔCFS on both the Timpe and Pernicana faults. In contrast, intrusion of a N-S dike at high elevation on the south flank (2001 eruption) rises ΔCFS only on Timpe fault System. These results are compatible with the observed pattern of seismicity, but emphasize an extremely heterogeneous state of stress on the east flank of the volcano.

    Description: Understanding how shallow magma is emplaced within volcanoes is crucial for hazard assessment. The 2002–2003 Stromboli eruption provides the opportunity to investigate shallow magma emplacement resulting from orthogonal feeder dikes and its possible effects. Stromboli erupted in 2002–2003, when effusive activity replaced Strombolian activity. On December 28, a NE-SW fissure propagated from the lava-filled northernmost summit crater. On December 29, a NW-SE fissure propagated north of the craters, feeding NW-SE aligned vents. On December 30, this area collapsed, reaching the sea and generating a tsunami. In mid February 2003, the NW-SE fissure became inactive, while the NE-SW effusive fissure continued until July. A model for shallow magma emplacement is proposed. The lateral propagation of a NE-SW dike from the northernmost crater was triggered. Below, a NW-SE dike, propagating from the magma-filled NE tip of the NE-SW elongated conduit, fed the NW-SE aligned vents. In February, the conduit periphery became solidified, freezing the NW-SE dike, and the transport of magma was limited to the central part, focusing its rise below the craters. This fed the NE-SW fissure until the supply decreased further (July), returning to the ordinary level sustaining Strombolian activity. Orthogonal dike emplacement followed the trajectories of the maximum (gravitational) stress s1, partly controlled by the irregular topography of the uppermost edifice. The emplacement of orthogonal dikes in a limited area is feasible at non-perfectly conical active volcanoes, where the maximum gravitational stress may show variations from a purely radial path.

    Description: We present new wellbore breakout data from oil exploration wells drilled in southern Peninsular Italy, from the Tyrrhenian shelf through the Apenninic mountain belt and foredeep, eastward to the undeformed Adria foreland. From the analysis of 64 wells, we observe Shmin oriented around NE-SW, perpendicular to the trend of the Apennines, both within the belt and in the eastern foredeep. Some variations are observed in the few wells analyzed on the Tyrrhenian shelf, possibly due to local tectonic structures, such as transverse NE-SW oriented extensional basins. The Apulian platform overthrust by the Apenninic mountains at 3-4 km depth, shows a very consistent direction of Shmin oriented N40°-50°E, in agreement with the stress regime inferred from focal mechanisms of strong earthquakes at depths of 10-15 km, which show NE extension, mostly accomplished by normal faulting. The overlying sedimentary and allochthonous units of the Apenninic belt exhibit the same NE Shmin direction, but show a larger scatter. Breakout data demonstrate that Quaternary compressional tectonism has ended, as Shmin is oriented NE also in the undeformed foreland as far as 50 km NE from the seismic belt. In the easternmost sector of the Adria foreland there are suggestions of a nearly isotropic horizontal stress field, as most wells do not show significant ellipticity.

    Description: The MW 8.8 mega-thrust earthquake and tsunami that occurred on February 27, 2010, offshore Maule region, Chile, was not unexpected. A clearly identified seismic gap existed in an area where tectonic loading has been accumulating since the great 1835 earthquake experienced and described by Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. Here we jointly invert tsunami and geodetic data (InSAR, GPS, land-level changes), to derive a robust model for the co-seismic slip distribution and induced co-seismic stress changes, and compare them to past earthquakes and the pre-seismic locking distribution. We aim to assess if the Maule earthquake has filled the Darwin gap, decreasing the probability of a future shock . We find that the main slip patch is located to the north of the gap, overlapping the rupture zone of the MW 8.0 1928 earthquake, and that a secondary concentration of slip occurred to the south; the Darwin gap was only partially filled and a zone of high pre-seismic locking remains unbroken. This observation is not consistent with the assumption that distributions of seismic rupture might be correlated with pre-seismic locking, potentially allowing the anticipation of slip distributions in seismic gaps. Moreover, increased stress on this unbroken patch might have increased the probability of another major to great earthquake there in the near future.

    Description: Sediments in deep ocean trenches may contain crucial information on past earthquake history and constitute important sites of carbon burial. Here we present 14C data on bulk organic carbon (OC) and its thermal decomposition fractions produced by ramped pyrolysis/oxidation for a core retrieved from the 〉7.5 km-deep Japan Trench. High-resolution 14C measurements, coupled with distinctive thermogram characteristics of OC, reveal hemipelagic sedimentation interrupted by episodic deposition of pre-aged OC in the trench. Low δ13C values and diverse 14C ages of thermal fractions imply that the latter material originates from the adjacent margin, and the co-occurrence of pre-aged OC with intervals corresponding to known earthquake events implies tectonically triggered, gravity-flow-driven supply. We show that 14C ages of thermal fractions can yield valuable chronological constraints on sedimentary sequences. Our findings shed new light on links between tectonically driven sedimentological processes and marine carbon cycling, with implications for carbon dynamics in hadal environments.
