Description:
We present preliminary results from a multidisciplinary geophysical approach applied to the imaging of the threedimensional
architecture of the Middle Aterno basin, close to the epicentral area of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (central Italy).
We collected several time domain electromagnetic soundings (TDEM) coupled with seismic noise measurements focusing on the
characterization of the bedrock/infill interface. Our preliminary results agree with existing geophysical data collected in the area,
and show that the southeastern portion of the basin is characterized by a deepening of the Mesozoic-Tertiary bedrock down to a
depth of more than 450 m. We found that a joint use of electromagnetic and seismic methods significantly contributes in
obtaining new insights on the 3D geometry of the Middle Aterno basin. Moreover, we believe that our combined approach based
on TDEM and noise measurements can be adopted to investigate similar geological settings elsewhere.
