    Description: Tsunami deposits present an important archive for understanding tsunami histories and dynamics. Most research in this field has focused on onshore preserved remains, while the offshore deposits have received less attention. In 2009, during a coring campaign with theItalian Navy Magnaghi, four 1 m long gravity cores (MG cores) were sampled from the northern part of Augusta Bay, along a transect in 60 to 110 m water depth. These cores were taken in the same area where a core (MS06) was collected in 2007 about 2.3 km offshore Augusta at a water depth of 72 m below sea level. Core MS06 consisted of a 6.7 m long sequence that included 12 anomalous intervals interpreted as the primary effect of tsunami backwash waves in the last 4500 years. In this study, tsunami deposits were identified, based on sedimentology and displaced benthic foraminifera (as for core MS06) reinforced by X-ray fluorescence data. Two erosional surfaces (L1 and L2) were recognized coupled with grain size increase, abundant Posidonia oceanica seagrass remains and a significant amount of Nubecularia lucifuga, an epiphytic sessile benthic foraminifera considered to be transported from the inner shelf. The occurrence of Ti/Ca and Ti/Sr increments, coinciding with peaks in organic matter (Mo inc/coh) suggests terrestrial run-off coupled with an input of organic matter. The L1 and L2 horizons were attributed to two distinct historical tsunamis (AD 1542 and AD 1693) by indirect age-estimation methods using 210Pb profiles and the comparison of Volume Magnetic Susceptibility data between MG cores and MS06 cores. One most recent bioturbated horizon (Bh), despite not matching the above listed interpretative features, recorded an important palaeoenvironmental change that may correspond to the AD 1908 tsunami. These findings reinforce the value of offshore sediment records as an underutilized resource for the identification of past tsunamis.

    Description: In order to geometrically characterize the liquefaction features observed in the epicentral sector of the 2012 Emilia seismic sequence and to evaluate the potential for recording palaeoseismic features of the area, we performed two electric resistivity tomographic sections and 4 shallow corings, coupled with 14C datings and archaeological age estimates in selected sites. Preliminary results show that there is a good agreement between ERT sections and core-logs; moreover a major role in determining the scalar relationships of the liquefaction features is played by the local geomorphological and topographic setting. The high sedimentation rates obtained through core datings (4 – 20 mm/yr) suggest that the described methodological approach can cover time windows of only a few centuries, thus hardly encompassing, in this tectonic setting, a significant period for paleoseismological purposes.

    Description: We provide a database of the surface ruptures produced by the 26 December 2018 Mw 4.9 earthquake that struck the eastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano in Sicily (southern Italy). Despite its relatively small magnitude, this shallow earthquake caused about 8 km of surface faulting, along the trace of the NNW-trending active Fiandaca Fault. Detailed field surveys have been performed in the epicentral area to map the ruptures and to characterize their kinematics. The surface ruptures show a dominant right-oblique sense of displacement with an average slip of about 0.09 m and a maximum value of 0.35 m. We have parsed and organized all observations in a concise database, with 932 homogeneous georeferenced records. The Fiandaca Fault is part of the complex active Timpe faults system affecting the eastern flank of Etna, and its seismic history indicates a prominent surface-faulting potential. Therefore, this database is essential for unravelling the seismotectonics of shallow earthquakes in volcanic areas, and contributes updating empirical scaling regressions that relate magnitude and extent of surface faulting.

    Description: Signals with Very Long Periods (VLP) (1-60s) have been recorded on many active volcanoes. They are related with various dynamical processes in the volcano feeding system. Stromboli was one of the first volcanoes where such signals have been observed and analyzed. After the beginning of an anomalous eruptive activity in December 2002, a permanent broadband seismic network was deployed, by INGV-Osservatorio Vesuviano, in January 2003. Currently the network consists in 11 stations. Seismic data are continuously acquired by the INGV-Osservatorio Vesuviano in Naples, where they are analyzed in real time and stored. Preliminary results are immediately published on public web pages. In this paper we focus on the method used for detecting and locating VLP events. Such events have not a clear onset, so classical methods for automatic picking and location fails. Compared to common earthquakes signals, VLPs shows a high waveform coherence among different stations and a clear radial polarization toward the hypocenter. Using these features, hypocenters may be found searching for the points in the space having the highest coherence in the radial component. This is quantified using a modified semblance function over band-pass filtered (2-20 s) signals. The point having the highest semblance function value is the hypocenter. The semblance function is computed continuously for 10 s time windows over a regular grid centered on Stromboli, having a volume of 8000x8000x2000 m and a spacing of 100x100x50 m. VLP events are detected when the maximum value of the semblance function exceed a given threshold value. This task require heavy computation efforts. For this reason we use a 64 processor parallel computer for performing real-time analysis.

    Description: After the beginning of the eruptive crisis that has interested the Stromboli volcano (Southern Italy) at the end of 2002, starting the second half of January 2003 it has been installed on the island a centralized broadband seismic network, at present composed by 11 stations, all equipped with Guralp CMG-40T (0,02-60 s period). The network is one of the first designed to monitor and analyze in real time the very long periods (VLP) events, which are produced, in the case of the Stromboli volcano, at a rate of hundreds per day. The disposition of the stations has been chosen in order to realize an azimuth and distance homogeneously distribution regarding possible seismic sources situated along the upper part of feeding system of the volcano. The network shows a distribution of stations that encircle the volcanic structure to various levels regarding the area of craters and the eruptive vents, with distance of the stations from the emission centers that vary between some hundreds of meters to about 2 kilometers. The signals, acquired using 24 bits A/D data loggers designed by INGV - CNT, are transmitted via UHF radiomodems to two intermediate centralization sites . The first one is the Observatory of S. Vincenzo where are centralized the stations installed on the northern side of the island, the second is the Observatory INGV in the Lipari island, where are centralized all the other stations. From these two intermediate centralization sites the data are transmitted via TCP/IP protocol, using the Italian scientific-academic internet network GARR, towards the INGV monitoring centers of Catania and Observatory Vesuviano (Naples), where the broadband signals are monitored and processed, using a 64 CPU computer cluster to perform the VLP real-time analysis.

    Description: Nel corso degli anni ‘90 l’uso di reti sismiche broadband in aree vulcaniche attive ha permesso di osservare in numerosi casi, segnali VLP (Very Long Period), ovvero segnali transienti con periodo dominante nella banda 2-50 s. Lo Stromboli, che con la sua persistente attività è un generatore di segnali VLP, è uno dei pochi vulcani su cui opera una rete sismica estesa costituita da stazioni broadband. A partire dal maggio 2003, è attivo presso la sede INGV Osservatorio Vesuviano un sistema automatico, denominato EOLO, per il rilevamento, la localizzazione e l’analisi in tempo reale di questi segnali. Il sistema EOLO riceve in ingresso (via internet) i segnali sismici registrati dalla rete broadband INGV dello Stromboli e fornisce, attraverso un’interfaccia web, sia i dati relativi ai singoli eventi VLP che delle statistiche giornaliere, mensili e annuali. L’interfaccia web interagisce con 3 database diversi: quello delle “forme d’onda”, il “catalogo eventi” e il database “statistiche”. Il database “forme d’onda” è costituito da un insieme di file in formato SAC, creati a partire dai segnali “grezzi” ricevuti in input. Il “catalogo eventi” rappresenta il cuore di tutto il sistema ed è implementato mediante SQL. Per ciascun evento VLP individuato, vengono determinati i parametri ipocentrali e le ampiezze alle varie stazioni e vengono inserite nel database “catalogo eventi”. Con periodicità oraria, viene aggiornato il database “statistiche”, costituito da grafici con gli andamenti orari e giornalieri del numero di eventi, della loro intensità e dell’andamento medio della polarizzazione dei segnali sismici VLP. L’interfaccia web consente di visualizzare, attraverso applet Java e script CGI, la localizzazione di ciascun evento, le forme d’onda, spettri e spettrogrammi, ed altre informazioni ritenute utili. Il sistema di rilevamento/localizzazione, che costruisce il database “catalogo eventi” è basato sull’analisi della coerenza delle forme d’onda VLP registrate alle varie stazione. Un calcolatore parallelo, basato su un cluster di 64 processori, esegue in tempo reale l’analisi della funzione semblance (indicativa della coerenza) su una griglia di dimensioni 8 km x 8 km x 2 km a spaziatura regolare 100 m x 100 m x 50 m, centrata sullo Stromboli. L’accadimento di un evento VLP produce il superamento di un valore di soglia della funzione semblance. La posizione del valore massimo della funzione semblance, durante un evento, è assunta come localizzazione. Nei prossimi mesi al sistema esistente sarà aggiunto un modulo per l’inversione della funzione sorgente dei singoli eventi VLP.

    Description: Mt. Vesuvius (southern Italy) is one of the most hazardous volcanoes in the world. Its activity is currently characterized by moderate seismicity, with hypocenters located beneath the crater zone with depth rarely exceeding 5 km and magnitudes generally less than 3. The current configu- ration of the seismic monitoring network of Mt. Vesuvius consists of 18 seismic stations and 7 infrasound microphones. During the period 2006- 2010 a seismic array with 48 channels was also operative. The station distribution provides appropriate coverage of the area around the volcanic edifice. The current development of the network and its geometry, under conditions of low seismic noise, allows locating seismic events with M〈1. Remote instruments continuously transmit data to the main acquisition center in Naples. Data transmission is realized using different technological solutions based on UHF, Wi-Fi radio links, and TCP/IP client-server applications. Data are collected in the monitoring center of the Osservatorio Vesuviano (Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Naples section), which is equipped with systems for displaying and analyzing signals, using both real-time automatic and manual procedures. 24-hour surveillance allows to immediately communicate any significant anomaly to the Civil Protection authorities.

    Description: Il terremoto del 26 dicembre 2019, ore 02:19 UTC, che ha colpito il basso versante sud-orientale dell’Etna, ha prodotto non solo danni gravi e distruzioni nell’area epicentrale, pari al grado 8 EMS (Azzaro et al., in questo volume), ma anche vistose rotture superficiali lungo la faglia di Fiandaca, che è la struttura più meridionale del sistema tettonico delle Timpe (Fig. 1a). Gli effetti di fagliazione cosismica in area etnea sono storicamente piuttosto frequenti in occasione di terremoti superficiali (〈 2-3 km), anche per valori di magnitudo relativamente modesti (M ≥ 3.5, vedi Azzaro, 1999). Con una magnitudo Mw 4.9 (Regional Centroid Moment Tensors, https://doi.org/10.13127/rcmt/italy), il terremoto in questione rappresenta l’evento più significativo, in termini di entità e complessità della fagliazione associata, verificatosi nell’area etnea negli ultimi 70 anni, con una estensione della rottura superiore rispetto a quelle storiche (〈 6.5 km). Il gruppo di emergenza per il rilievo degli effetti geologici cosismici EMERGEO (http://emergeo.ingv.it) dell’INGV, si è pertanto attivato effettuando quattro campagne di misura con squadre che si sono alternate sul terreno (per un totale di 60 gg/persona), supportate da personale del proprio Centro Operativo per l’organizzazione dei dati e il popolamento del database (43 gg/persona). Il rilievo ha consentito la raccolta e catalogazione di circa 900 punti di misura relativi a posizionamento, geometria, rigetto e cinematica delle fratture cosismiche.

    Description: We present a 1:10,000 scale map of the coseismic surface ruptures following the 26 December 2018 Mw 4.9 earthquake that struck the eastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano (southern Italy). Detailed rupture mapping is based on extensive field surveys in the epicentral region. Despite the small size of the event, we were able to document surface faulting for about 8 km along the trace of the NNW-trending active Fiandaca Fault, belonging to the Timpe tectonic system in the eastern flank of the volcano. The mapped ruptures are characterized in most cases by perceivable opening and by a dominant right-oblique sense of slip, with an average slip of about 0.09 m and a peak value of 0.35 m. It is also noteworthy that the ruptures vary significantly in their kinematic expression, denoting locally high degree of complexity of the surface faulting.
