Description:
We use InSAR and body-wave seismology to
determine independent source parameters for the
6th April 2009 Mw 6.3 L’Aquila earthquake and confirm
that the earthquake ruptured a SW-dipping normal fault
with 0.6–0.8 m slip. The causative Paganica fault had
been neglected relative to other nearby range-frontal faults,
partly because it has a subdued geomorphological
expression in comparison with these faults. The L’Aquila
earthquake occurred in an area with a marked seismic
deficit relative to geodetically determined strain
accumulation. We use our source model to calculate stress
changes on nearby faults produced by the L’Aquila
earthquake and we find that several of these faults have
been brought closer to failure.
