    Recent tectonic reorganization of the Nubia-Eurasia convergent 2boundary heading for the closure of the western Mediterranean (2011)
    Société Géologique de France
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-26
    Description: : In the western Mediterranean area, after a long period (late Paleogene-Neogene) of Nubian northward subduction beneath Eurasia, subduction is almost ceased as well as convergence accommodation in the subduction zone. With the progression of Nubia-Eurasia convergence, a tectonic reorganization is therefore necessary to accommodate future contraction. Previously-published tectonic, seismological, geodetic, tomographic, and seismic reflection data (integrated by some new GPS velocity data) are reviewed to understand the reorganization of the convergent boundary in the western Mediterranean. Between northern Morocco, to the west, and northern Sicily, to the east, contractional deformation has shifted from the former subduction zone to the margins of the two backarc oceanic basins (Algerian-Liguro-Provençal and Tyrrhenian basins) and it is now active in the south-Tyrrhenian (northern Sicily), northern Liguro-Provençal, Algerian, and Alboran (partly) margins. Compression and basin inversion has propagated in a scissor-like manner from the Alboran (c. 8 Ma) to the Tyrrhenian (younger than c. 2 Ma) basins following a similar propagation of the subduction cessation and slab breakoff, i.e., older to the west and younger to the east. It follows that basin inversion is rather advanced in the Algerian margin, where a new southward subduction seems to be in its very infant stage, while it has still to properly start in the Tyrrhenian margin, where contraction has resumed at the rear of the fold-thrust belt and may soon invert the Marsili oceanic basin. GPS-derived strain rates higher in the Tyrrhenian margin than in the Algerian boundary suggest that this latter manner of contraction accommodation (contraction resumption at the rear of the orogenic wedge) is more efficient than subduction inception and basin inversion along newly-generated reverse faults (Algeria), but the differential strain rates may also be explained with the heterogeneous distribution of GPS stations. Part of the contractional deformation may have shifted toward the north in the Liguro-Provençal basin possibly because of its weak rheological properties compared with the area between Tunisia and Sardinia, where no oceanic crust occurs and seismic deformation is absent or limited compared with the adjacent strands of the Nubia-Eurasia boundary. The tectonic reorganization of the Nubia-Eurasia boundary in the study area is still strongly controlled by the inherited tectonic fabric and rheological attributes, which are both discontinuous and non-cylindrical along the boundary. These features prevent, at present, the development of long and continuous thrust faults. In an extreme and approximate synthesis, the evolution of the western Mediterranean is inferred as being similar to a Wilson Cycle in the following main steps: (1) northward Nubian subduction with Mediterranean backarc extension (since ~35 Ma); (2) progressive cessation, from west to east, of Nubian main subduction (since ~15 Ma); (3) progressive compression, from west to east, in the former backarc domain and consequent basin inversion (since ~8-10 Ma); (4) possible future subduction of former backarc basins.

    Coseismic deformation pattern of the Emilia 2012 seismic sequence imaged by Radarsat-1 interferometry (2012)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: On May 20th and 29th, 2012, two earthquakes having magnitude 5.9 and 5.8, respectively, and their aftershocks sequence hit the central Po Plain (Italy), about 40 km north of Bologna, in the northern Apennines. Following the main-shocks, more than 2,000 events were recorded by the INGV National Seismic Network (http://iside.rm.ingv.it/). During the seismic sequence, a pure compressional faulting was generated by the activation of blind thrusts of the western Ferrara Arc, thereby activating a 50 km-long stretch of this buried outer front of the northern Apennines. The focal mechanisms of the larger shocks agree with the compilation of present-day tectonic stress indicators, showing a ca. N-S oriented maximum horizontal stress in the area, i.e. oriented perpendicular to the main structural trends. Most of the seismic sequence was confined between 1 and 12 km depth, above the local basal detachment of the outer thrust front of the northern Apennines. The surface displacement pattern, associated with the mainshocks and some following minor events (some of which above M 5.0), has been measured by applying Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique to a pair of C-Band Radarsat-1 data. The coseismic movements detected overall the epicentral region have been here used as input information for the source inversion model.

    Did the September 2010 (Darfield) earthquake trigger the February 2011 (Christchurch) event? (2012)
    Nature
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We have investigated the possible cause-and-effect relationship due to stress transfer between two earthquakes that occurred near Christchurch, New Zealand, in September 2010 and in February 2011. The Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) event took place along a previously unrecognized fault. The Mw 6.3 Christchurch earthquake, generated by a thrust fault, occurred approximately five months later, 6 km south-east of Christchurch’s city center. We have first measured the surface displacement field to retrieve the geometries of the two seismic sources and the slip distribution. In order to assess whether the first earthquake increased the likelihood of occurrence of a second earthquake, we compute the Coulomb Failure Function (CFF). We find that the maximum CFF increase over the second fault plane is reached exactly around the hypocenter of the second earthquake. In this respect, we may conclude that the Darfield earthquake contributed to promote the rupture of the Christchurch fault.

    20 years of active deformation on volcano caldera: Joint analysis of InSAR and AInSAR techniques (2012)
    Elsevier Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) techniques are applied to investigate last two decades of surface deformation of the Cerro Blanco/Robledo Caldera (CBRC). The objective is the identification of deforming patterns that alter the shape of these complex structures when they show low or null activity. The joint analysis between results by using different methods over a long time span, represents a unique opportunity to improve knowledge of volcanic structures located in remote area and, for this, poorly or not monitored. In this work we identify displacement patterns over the volcanic area, by using both classical differential InSAR analysis, and A-InSAR (Advanced InSAR) analysis based on SAR data acquired by ERS-1/2 and ENVISAT sensors during the 1996-2010 time interval. The satellite-derived information allows us to characterize the deformation pattern that affected the CBRC and shows that the actively deforming CBRC is subsiding in the observed period. In order to figure out the deformation history of CBRC, we analyzed the four sub-periods 1992-1996, 1996-2000, and 2005-2010 by using standard differential InSAR technique, and the interval 2003-2007 by adopting an A-InSAR technique. Subsidence velocities of the CBRC caldera are about 2.6 cm/yr in the time interval 1992-1996 (measured with ERS descending data), 1.8 cm/yr in 1996-2000 (ERS descending data), 1.2 cm/yr in 2003-2007 (ENVISAT descending data),and finally, 0.87 cm/yr in 2005-2010 (ENVISAT ascending data). Moreover, outside the caldera and in particular in the NW area, we observe the presence of positive velocity values. Results show that: a) a decreasing subsidence rate might be related to the reduction of volcanic activity in correspondence of the CBRC; b) positive velocity signal, decreasing with time, might be interpreted as follows: - evidence of volcano structure lateral spreading, according to the velocity pattern distribution in this area and to the relative local flanks topographic convexity of the volcano structure; - uplift signal of this sector of mountain chain; - combination if the two mechanisms above.

    The brittle-ductile transition as the switch of earthquakes: applications for seismic prediction (2012)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-27
    Description: The brittle-ductile transition (BDT) separates the lower crust where deformation occurs in steady-state regime, from the upper crust where it is rather dominated by stick-slip. The fault hangingwall above BDT accumulates elastic energy during the interseismic period, without significant evidence of surface strain rate Faults activate in areas of high strain rate gradients along the segments with lower strain rates Fluid discharge varies as a function of the tectonic setting The phenomenology gives insights for the parameters to be monitored in earthquake forecasting

    Rates of geodetic deformation across active faults in southern Italy (2014)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-15
    Description: Active deformation in southern Italy is accommodated by a distributed number of faults with low–moderate slip rates. Outcropping extensional faults and mostly blind transcurrent faults are mapped within a western (or axial) and an eastern domain, respectively. We use a combination of continuous (2001.00–2011.84) and episodic (1995.68–2010.79) GNSS observations to firstly estimate the geodetic deformation rate on 32 faults. Geodetic results were successively compared with geological displacement estimates. In agreement with seismological and geological information, a net spatial segregation emerges between the extensional axial belt, and the eastern domain where strike–slip faults are geodetically active. Although uncertainties are at times large, average displacement rates show broadly consistent patterns within both domains. A longitudinal gradient in extension rate is observed for the axial fault array, with two sectors of higher magnitude (~ 0.8–1.7 mm/yr for individual faults). This result is consistent with geological observations and supports the notion that extension occurs in discrete patches. Faults of the eastern domain have lower (few 0.1 to ~ 1.2 mm/yr) strike–slip rates and an eastward-decreasing extensional component, but significant geodetic displacement is detected in areas lacking clear evidence of activity. Few faults with 1–2 mm/yr extension rate are locally found in the eastern domain, but, based on their limited length and on inconsistency with seismology and geology, they are considered as due to deep-seated gravitational spreading. For crustal faults, although geodetic slip and moment rates are larger than geological rates, the broad trend of long- to short-term rates is similar, indicating the feasibility of geodetic analysis to contribute estimating fault slip rate and testing tectonic models in the region. Whereas the western domain extension is thought to be controlled by potential energy related to the Tyrrhenian Moho uplift beneath the Apennines, strike–slip in the east is related to shear on inherited faults within the Adriatic crust.

    Along-strike shearing instead of orthogonal compression: A different viewpoint on Orogeny and Regional Metamorphism (2010)
    Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Orogeny has been regarded for over a century as a compressional phenomenon due either to contraction or to lithospheric collision. However, generation of linear structures like orogens can hardly be explained by variation over large areas of stress gradients, as is to be expected in the rigid-plate convergence assumption. Lateral escape - implied by newer plate-tectonics interpretations to overcome this difficulty - might apply to some degree, but should by no means be more important than up and outward escape, i.e. in the direction of minimum principal stress. Movement indicators in regional metamorphic rocks have shown that tectonic transport along the orogens is a matter beyond question but also that this transport begins at a very early stage, a situation that contradicts the lateral escape model. Therefore it is assumed that the lateral movement is not due to compression, but to transcurrency, which has both the maximum and minimum principal stresses in the horizontal plane. This agrees particularly well with the observed belt-like distribution of deformation. Two models are advanced, the corridor and the gliding-blocks model, which are not mutually exclusive even if each of them relates to a specific geotectonic setting.

    Surface deformation in the Abruzzi region, Central Italy, from multitemporal DInSAR analysis (2010)
    Royal Astronomical Society
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We investigate the 1992–2000 surface deformation affecting the Abruzzi region, Central Italy, by exploiting two set of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, acquired by the ERS-1/2 SAR sensors from ascending and descending orbits, respectively. We apply the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique to the SAR data set to estimate the displacement time-series and the corresponding velocity maps. Our DInSAR analysis allows us to detect a previously unreported major change in crustal deformationmoving from the highest elevation of the Central Apennines to the Adriatic sector, that we infer as evidence of a complex tectonic boundary between two Adriatic microplates involving a wide interaction zone. An extension effect, at a rate of about 0.10 × 10–6 yr−1, is also confirmed by our investigation. Our findings may have important implications in the seismic hazard assessment within the Adriatic region in Central Italy.

    Project S1: Analysis of the seismic potential in Italy for the evaluation of the seismic hazard (2012)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-03
    Description: The project S1 was aimed at (a) collecting new data and to update the existing databases needed to quantify seismic hazard; (b) promoting new studies on specific fields of knowledge and less-explored areas of Italy; (c) testing new approaches to evaluate seismic potential; (d) bounding slip rate values to use within probabilistic hazard estimates; and (e) preparing the way towards a future seismic hazard map of Italy. It was designed with three scientific parts – nationwide basic data, rheology, and field studies – and implemented into four tasks: 1) earthquake geodesy and modeling, 2) seismological data and earthquake statistics, 3) earthquake geology, and 4) tsunamis. Although with many difficulties and some delay, described in the appropriate section, all the above objectives have generally been accomplished. New observations were collected through original fieldwork and more sophisticated analyses were performed on existing data. Datasets needed for the seismic hazard estimates were updated at various levels by reducing both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties. New studies were carried out on specific fields of knowledge, e.g. addressing the repeatability of geodetic and stress data measurements or the seismogenic behavior of misoriented faults. Studies on less-explored areas were stimulated, and faults, whose seismic potential was not previously accounted for, were mapped and/or parameterized in the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, in Calabria, Sicily and the Southwestern Alps. Independent approaches to evaluate the seismic potential were tested, and a large effort toward homogenization and verifiability was made. The substantial improvements of nationwide datasets and understanding of the tectonic processes in large areas of the country set the basis for a significantly better assessment of seismic hazard.
