    Abruzzo, Italy, Earthquakes of April 2009: Heterogeneous Fault-Slip Models and Stress Transfer from Accurate Inversion of ENVISAT-InSAR Data (2011)

    Description: The seismic sequence that occurred in the Abruzzo Apennines near L'Aquila (Italy) in April 2009 caused extensive damage and a large number of casualties (more than 300). The earthquake struck an area in the Italian Apennines chain where several faults, belonging to adjacent seismotectonic domains, create a complex tectonic regime resulting from the interaction among regional stress buildup, local stress changes caused by individual earthquakes, and viscous-elastic stress relaxation. Understanding such complex interaction in the Apennines can lead to a large step forward in the seismic risk mitigation in Italy. The Abruzzo earthquake has been very well recorded by interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data, much better than the first Italian earthquake ever recorded by satellites, namely, the 1997 Umbria-Marche earthquake. ENVISAT (ENVIronmental SATellite) data for the Abruzzo earthquake are, in fact, very clear and allow an accurate reconstruction of the faulting mechanism. We present here an accurate inversion of vertical deformation data obtained by ENVISAT images, aimed to give a detailed reconstruction of the fault geometry and slip distribution. The resulting fault models are then used to compute, by a suitable theoretical model based on the elastic dislocation theory, the stress changes induced on the neighboring faults. The correlation of the subsequent mainshocks and aftershocks of the Abruzzo sequence with the volumes undergoing increasing Coulomb stress clearly evidence the triggering effect of coseismic stress changes on further seismicity. Moreover, this analysis put in evidence which seismotectonic domains have been more heavily charged by stress released by the Abruzzo mainshocks. The most important faults significantly charged by the Abruzzo sequence belong to the Sulmona and Avezzano tectonic domains. Taking into account the average regional stress buildup in the area, the positive Coulomb stress changes caused by this earthquake can be seen as anticipating the next earthquakes in the neighboring domains of 15-20 yr.

    Unrest at Campi Flegrei Caldera (Southern Italy) during the last decade (2011)
    Società Geologica Italiana
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Campi Flegrei caldera is located just west of the city of Naples, within the central-southern sector of a large graben called Campania Plain. It is an active volcanic area marked by a quasicircular caldera depression, probably formed by a huge ignimbritic eruption occurred about 39000 years ago. This caldera was generated by collapses produced by strong explosive eruptions. The only eruption in historical times occurred in 1538building a spatter cone called Mt. Nuovo. Campi Flegrei area periodically experiences significant deformation episodes, with uplift phenomena reaching more than 3.5 m in 15 years (from 1970 to 1984), which caused during 1983-84 the temporary evacuation of about 40000 people from Pozzuoli town. The structural complexity of the Campi Flegrei area, together with the evidence of a strong interaction between magmatic chamber and shallow geothermal system, calls for a detailed characterization of the substructure and of the magma-water interaction processes. The Campi Flegrei caldera is characterized by high volcanic risk due to the explosivity of the eruptions and to the intense urbanization of the surrounding area, and has been the site of significant unrest for the past 2000 years (DE NATALE et alii, 2006). The caldera floor was raised to about 1.7 meters between 1968 and 1972; then a subsidence phase of about 0.2 m occurred between 1972 and 1975 followed by a stable period until 1981. Between 1982 and 1985 new uplift occurred and the caldera rose about 1.8 m, without eruptive phenomena...
