    Description: In the last years, several studies investigated the Mt. Vettore Fault Zone (MVFZ), activated during the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence. Research has focused mainly on aftershocks and mainshock locations, coseismic slip and surface cracks, while an accurate study of the fracture network in the MVFZ was never conducted. In this study we present a fracture analysis performed using very high resolution (0.5 – 5 cm) Digital Outcrop Models (DOMs) that developed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based digital photogrammetry. The UAV gave the possibility to investigate outcrops with dimensions up to hundreds of metres high and wide, and acquire big and precise fracture data using 3D digital automatic and manual mapping techniques. To investigate the structural variability of the MVFZ fracture network, we realized several DOMs located in different positions, along and around the major fault. All the selected outcrops are formed by Calcare Massiccio Fm., which better records brittle deformation in the study area. This analysis aimed to better understand the MVFZ fracture network, including mechanics, kinematics and local structural evolution. In particular, it allowed to determine: 1) the main sets of fractures; 2) the geometrical parameters of the fracture network (e.g. fracture density, persistence, roughness and aperture); 3) the relative timing of the main tectonic brittle events. The preliminary analysis of the DOMs suggests a variability of the fracture network parameters over the MVFZ, especially for what concerned fracture set orientation and density.

    Description: This study provides a lithospheric-scale model along the Ionian Subduction zone in Southern Italy, contributing to the seismotectonic investigation of a region which is affected by relevant historical seismicity. The study employs gravity forward modelling to build the geo-structural model along a composite, NWSE trending transect extending from the Ionian to the Tyrrhenian Sea, including the Aeolian arc and the Calabro-Peloritan onshore. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we propose new interpretations of three 2D deep-seismic reflection profiles across the study area. Such interpretative profiles are used as constraints to model the observed Bouguer gravity anomalies providing upper and lower crust geometries. Whilst a tomographic model provides constraints for the lithospheric and asthenospheric modelling. The entire workflow is constrained by literature data about Moho geometry, deep seismicity and tomographic images that are integrated to determine the subducting slab geometry. The proposed model of the entire subducting system reasonably fits the observed gravity field and is coherent with the first-order geological and geophysical constraints. The modelling results in updated Tyrrhenian and Ionian Moho depth, subducting slab geometry and location, and densities of the main units, providing valuable input about the composition and geometry of the Calabrian arc structures.
