    The shallow boreholes at The AltotiBerina near fault Observatory (TABOO; northern Apennines of Italy) (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-02-28
    Description: As part of an interdisciplinary research project, funded by the European Research Council and addressing the mechanics of weak faults, we drilled three 200–250 m-deep boreholes and installed an array of seismometers. The array augments TABOO (The AltotiBerina near fault ObservatOry), a scientific infrastructure managed by the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. The observatory, which consists of a geophysical network equipped with multi-sensor stations, is located in the northern Apennines (Italy) and monitors a large and active low-angle normal fault. The drilling operations started at the end of 2011 and were completed by July 2012. We instrumented the boreholes with three-component short-period (2 Hz) passive instruments at different depths. The seismometers are now fully operational and collecting waveforms characterised by a very high signal to noise ratio that is ideal for studying microearthquakes. The resulting increase in the detection capability of the seismic network will allow for a broader range of transients to be identified.

    Il terremoto a Campobasso del 16 gennaio 2016. L’evento di MW 4.3 e la sequenza sismica associata (2017)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-23
    Description: Alle 18.55 UTC del 16 gennaio 2016 è stato registrato dalla Rete Sismica Nazionale1 (RSN, http://doi.org/10.13127/SD/X0FXNH7QFY) dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) un terremoto di magnitudo locale (M ) 4.1 (magnitudo momento M 4.3) ben risentito in gran parte delle province di Campobasso e di Isernia e in alcune zone delle province limitrofe di Caserta, Benevento e Foggia. L’evento, localizzato a circa 6 km di distanza dal capoluogo molisano e ad una profondità prossima ai 10 km, è stato preceduto durante la giornata da una decina di eventi, il più significativo dei quali è stato di ML 2.9. La sequenza sismica sviluppatasi nei giorni successivi si colloca in un’area caratterizzata da una pericolosità sismica molto elevata e a circa 20 km a nord-est dalla sequenza sismica iniziata il 29 dicembre 2013 con un evento di ML 4.9 (MW 5.0 [De Gori et al., 2014]). Considerate le criticità che il sistema di sorveglianza sismica attivo H24/7 presso la sede INGV di Roma ha iniziato a patire nei giorni successivi a causa di cattive condizioni meteo, è stata predisposta in collaborazione con l’Agenzia della Protezione Civile della Regione Molise l’installazione di una stazione sismica temporanea a sei canali. L’installazione si è svolta nell’ambito del Coordinamento delle reti sismiche mobili INGV (Sismiko [Margheriti et al., 2014; Moretti et al., 2016]) ed è stata sufficiente per garantire la continuità del servizio di sorveglianza sismica, come richiesto nella Convenzione vigente2 tra l’INGV e il Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC). La sequenza è stata analizzata con diverse tecniche di localizzazione, i cui risultati sono stati messi a confronto nel corrente lavoro.

    Fault reactivation by stress pattern reorganization in the Hyblean foreland domain of SE Sicily (Italy) and seismotectonic implications (2016)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-10
    Description: Between the October 2011 and the July 2012, several seismic swarms occurred in the Hyblean foreland domain of SE Sicily (Italy) along the Cavagrande Canyon, one of the most impressive fluvial incisions of Sicily. Despite the low magnitude of the events (main shock with M~3.7), they represent the biggest strain release of the Hyblean area over the last ten years. A careful wave-form analysis of the earthquakes revealed that most of them form a family of ―multiplets‖. These findings allow us to reconstruct the attitude of the accountable fault plane by interpolating their highprecision 3D location parameters into a GIS platform. A detailed morpho-structural analysis, performed at the ideal updip projection of the modelled plane, showed that during the Middle-Late Pleistocene the epicentral area has been deformed by a belt of extensional faults, a segment of which matches well with the computer-generated surface. Despite the field evidence, computed focal solutions support contrasting strike-slip kinematics on the same fault plane, clearly indicating a dextral shearing on this pre-existing normal fault. The seismic swarms nucleated on a small rupture area along a ~10 km long, NW-SE trending fault segment, that could be able to generate M~6 earthquakes. Following our analysis and looking at seismicity distribution in the SE portion of Hyblean area, we asses that a stress pattern reorganization occurred all over the Hyblean foreland between the Late Pleistocene and present-day. Change in the trajectory of the max stress axes (from vertical to horizontal) seems to have involved a pre-existing large scale fault configuration with considerable seismotectonic implications.

    Slip rate depth distribution for active faults in Central Italy using numerical models (2016)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-12
    Description: Slip rate is a critical parameter for describing geologic and earthquake rates of known active faults. Although faults are inherently three-dimensional surfaces, the paucity of data allows for estimating only the slip rate at the ground surface and often only few values for an entire fault. These values are frequently assumed as proxies or as some average of slip rate at depth. Evidence of geological offset and single earthquake displacement, as well as mechanical requirements, show that fault slip varies significantly with depth. Slip rate should thus vary in a presumably similar way, yet these variations are rarely considered. In this work, we tackle the determination of slip rate depth distributions by applying the finite element method on a 2D vertical section, with stratification and faults, across the central Apennines, Italy. In a first step, we perform a plane-stress analysis assuming visco-elasto-plastic rheology and then search throughout a large range of values to minimize the RMS deviation between the model and the interseismic GPS velocities. Using a parametric analysis, we assess the accuracy of the best model and the sensitivity of its parameters. In a second step, we unlock the faults and let the model simulate 10 kyr of deformation to estimate the fault long-term slip rates. The overall average slip rate at depth is approximately 1.1 mm/yr for normal faults and 0.2 mm/yr for thrust faults. A maximum value of about 2 mm/yr characterizes the Avezzano fault that caused the 1915, Mw 7.0 earthquake. The slip rate depth distribution varies significantly from fault to fault and even between neighbouring faults, with maxima and minima located at different depths. We found uniform distributions only occasionally. We suggest that these findings can strongly influence the forecasting of cumulative earthquake depth distributions based on long-term fault slip rates.

    The use of HVSR measurements for investigating buried tectonic structures: the Mirandola anticline, Northern Italy, as a case study (2016)
    Springer Verlag New York Inc
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: The Mirandola Anticline represents a buried fault-propagation fold which has been growing during Quaternary due to the seismogenic activity of a blind segment belonging to the broader Ferrara Arc. The last reactivation occurred during the May 2012 Emilia sequence. In correspondence with this structure the thickness of the marine and continental deposits of the Po Plain foredeep is particularly reduced. In order to better define the shallow geometry of this tectonic structure, and hence its recent activity, we investigated in a depth range which is intermediate between the surficial morphological observations and seismic profiles information. In particular, we carried out numerous passive seismic measurements (single station microtremor) for obtaining the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR). The results of a combined analysis of the peak frequency and its amplitude nicely fit the available geological information suggesting that this low-cost geophysical technique could be successfully applied in other sectors of wide morphologically flat alluvial plains to investigate blind and completely buried potential seismogenic structures

    Imaging the three-dimensional architecture of the Middle Aterno basin (2009 L’ Aquila earthquake, Central Italy) using ground TDEM and seismic noise surveys: preliminary results (2016)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We present preliminary results from a multidisciplinary geophysical approach ap- plied to the imaging of the three-dimensional 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 focu- sing on the characterization of the bedrock/in ll 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 signi - cantly 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.

    Active upper crust deformation pattern along the southern edge of the Tyrrhenian subduction zone (NE Sicily): Insights from a multidisciplinary approach (2016)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Using a multidisciplinary dataset based on gravimetric, seismic, geodetic and geological observations,we provide an improved picture of the shallow structure and dynamics of the southern edge of the Tyrrhenian subduction zone.With a local earthquake tomographywe clearly identify twomain crustal domains in the upper 15 kmcharacterized by different P-wave velocity values: a high-velocity domain comprising southeasternmost Tyrrhenian Sea, NE Sicily and Messina Straits, and a low-velocity domain comprising Mt. Etna and eastern Sicily. The transition between the two domains shows a good spatial correspondence with a wider set of faults including the Taormina Fault System (TFS) and the Aeolian–Tindari–Letojanni Fault System (ATLFS), two nearly SE-striking fault systems crossing northeastern Sicily and ending on the Ionian shoreline of Sicily according to many investigators. Within this set of faults, most of the deformation/seismicity occurs along the northern and central segments of ATLFS, compared to lowactivity along TFS. A lack of seismicity (both recent and historical) is observed in the southern sector of ATLFS where, however, geodetic data reveal significant deformation. Ourmultidisciplinary dataset including offshore observations suggests the southeastward continuation of the ATLFS into the Ionian Sea until joiningwith the faults cutting the Ionian accretionarywedge described in the recent literature. Our findings imply the existence of a highly segmented crustal shear zone extending from the Aeolian Islands to the Ionian Abyssal plain, that we believe plays the role of accommodating differential motion between the Southern Tyrrhenian unit and the western compressional domain of Sicily. The ATLFS, which is a main part of the inferred shear zone, behaves similarly to what often observed at the edges of retreating subduction

    Accelerating moment release revisited: Examples of application to Italian seismic sequences (2015)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-19
    Description: From simple considerations we propose a revision of the AcceleratingMoment Release (AMR) methodology for improving our knowledge of seismic sequences and then, hopefully in a close future, to reach the capability of predicting the main-shock location and occurrence with sufficient accuracy. The proposed revision is based on the introduction of a “reduced” Benioff strain for the earthquakes of the seismic sequence where, for the same magnitude and after a certain distance from the main-shock epicentre, the closer the events the more they are weighted. In addition,we retain the usual expressions proposed by the ordinary AMRmethod for the estimation of the corresponding main-shock magnitude, although this parameter is the weakest of the analysis. Then, we apply the revised method to four case studies in Italy, three of which are the most recent seismic sequences of the last 9 years culminating with a shallow main-shock, and one is instead a 1995–1996 swarm with no significant main-shock. The application of the R-AMRmethodology provides the best results in detecting the precursory seismic acceleration,when comparedwith those found by ordinaryAMR technique.We verify also the stability of the results in space, applying the analysis to real data with moving circles in a large area around each mainshock epicentre, and the efficiency of the revised technique in time, comparing the results with those obtained when applying the same analysis to simulated seismic sequences.

    Neotectonics and long-term seismicity in Europe and the Mediterranean region (2015)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-04
    Description: We present a neotectonic model of ongoing lithosphere deformation and a corresponding estimate of long-term shallow seismicity across the Africa-Eurasia plate boundary, including the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean region, and continental Europe. GPS and stress data are absent or inadequate for the part of the study area covered by water. Thus, we opt for a dynamic model based on the stress-equilibrium equation; this approach allows us to estimate the long-term behavior of the lithosphere (given certain assumptions about its structure and physics) for both land and sea areas. We first update the existing plate model by adding five quasi-rigid plates (the Ionian Sea, Adria, Northern Greece, Central Greece, and Marmara) to constrain the deformation pattern of the study area. We use the most recent datasets to estimate the lithospheric structure. The models are evaluated in comparison with updated datasets of geodetic velocities and the most compressive horizontal principal stress azimuths. We find that the side and basal strengths drive the present-day motion of the Adria and Aegean Sea plates, whereas lithostatic pressure plays a key role in driving Anatolia. These findings provide new insights into the neotectonics of the greater Mediterranean region. Finally, the preferred model is used to estimate long-term shallow seismicity, which we retrospectively test against historical seismicity. As an alternative to reliance on incomplete geologic data or historical seismic catalogs, these neotectonic models help to forecast long-term seismicity, although requiring additional tuning before seismicity rates are used for seismic hazard purposes.

    Description: This study presents new geological and seismological data that are used to assess the seismic hazard of a sector of the Po Plain (northern Italy), a large alluvial basin hit by two strong earthquakes on May 20 (Mw 6.1) and May 29 (Mw 6.0), 2012. The proposed interpretation is based on high-quality relocation of 5,369 earthquakes ( 'Emilia sequence‘) and a dense grid of seismic profiles and exploration wells. The analysed seismicity was recorded by 44 seismic stations, and initially used to calibrate new one-dimensional and three- dimensional local Vp and Vs velocity models for the area. Considering these new models, the initial sparse hypocenters were then relocated in absolute mode and adjusted using the double-difference relative location algorithm. These data define a seismicity that is elongated in the W-NW to E-SE directions. The aftershocks of the May 20 mainshock appear to be distributed on a rupture surface that dips ~45° SSW, and the surface projection indicates an area ~10 km wide and 23 km long. The aftershocks of the May 29 mainshock followed a steep rupture surface that is well constrained within the investigated volume, whereby the surface projection of the blind source indicates an area ~6 km wide and 33 km long. Multichannel seismic profiles highlight the presence of relevant lateral variations in the structural style of the Ferrara folds that developed during the Pliocene and Pleistocene. There is also evidence of a Mesozoic extensional fault system in the Ferrara arc, with faults that in places have been seismically reactivated. These geological and seismological observations suggest that the 2012 Emilia earthquakes were related to ruptures along blind fault surfaces that are not part of the Pliocene-Pleistocene structural system, but are instead related to a deeper system that is itself closely related to re-activation of a Mesozoic extensional fault system.

    Ancient settlements in central Italy and capable faults: consequences for urban planning in the L'Aquila region. (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-30
    Description: Active and capable faults (FAC) represent one of the most important risk for human activities in seismically active areas. The scientific and civil communities are constantly increasing their attention about this matter. In the Italian context, the post seismic reconstruction after the 2009 April 6th L'Aquila earthquake clearly highlighted the need of criteria for the old settlement rebuilding and/or the choice of new sites suitable for new villages. We focused our study on the identification of FACs in a sector of the central Apennines characterized by a high density of Quaternary faults and by a high density distribution of ancient urban settlements. Using classical geological, geomorphological and paleoseismological approaches, together with a temporal criteria and bibliographic analysis, we evaluate the activity and capability of the recognized faults. Then, we propose some analysis and reflections about the regulation concerning the FAC in Italy, taking into account the huge number and high density of FACs that involves the Italian urban settlements.

    Development of the Global Earthquake Model’s neotectonic fault database (2015)
    Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-14
    Description: The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) aims to develop uniform, openly available, standards, datasets and tools for worldwide seismic risk assessment through global collaboration, transparent communication and adapting state-of-the-art science. GEM Faulted Earth (GFE) is one of GEM’s global hazard module projects. This paper describes GFE’s development of a modern neotectonic fault database and a unique graphical interface for the compilation of new fault data. A key design principle is that of an electronic field notebook for capturing observations a geologist would make about a fault. The database is designed to accommodate abundant as well as sparse fault obser- vations. It features two layers, one for capturing neotectonic faults and fold observations, and the other to calculate potential earthquake fault sources from the observations. In order to test the flexibility of the database structure and to start a global compilation, five preexisting databases have been uploaded to the first layer and two to the second. In addition, the GFE project has characterised the world’s approximately 55,000 km of subduction interfaces in a globally consistent manner as a basis for generating earthquake event sets for inclusion in earthquake hazard and risk modelling. Following the subduction interface fault schema and including the trace attributes of the GFE database schema, the 2500-km-long frontal thrust fault system of the Himalaya has also been characterised. We propose the database structure to be used widely, so that neotectonic fault data can make a more complete and beneficial contribution to seismic hazard and risk characterisation globally.

    Fault on–off versus coseismic fluids reaction (2015)
    China University of Geosciences
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-27
    Description: The fault activation (fault on) interrupts the enduring fault locking (fault off) and marks the end of a seismic cycle in which the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) acts as a sort of switch. We suggest that the fluid flow rates differ during the different periods of the seismic cycle (interseismic, pre-seismic, coseismic and post-seismic) and in particular as a function of the tectonic style. Regional examples indicate that tectonic-related fluids anomalies depend on the stage of the tectonic cycle and the tectonic style. Although it is difficult to model an increasing permeability with depth and several BDT transitions plus independent acquicludes may occur in the crust, we devised the simplest numerical model of a fault constantly shearing in the ductile deeper crust while being locked in the brittle shallow layer, with variable homogeneous permeabilities. The results indicate different behaviors in the three main tectonic settings. In tensional tectonics, a stretched band antithetic to the normal fault forms above the BDT during the interseismic period. Fractures close and fluids are expelled during the coseismic stage. The mechanism reverses in compressional tectonics. During the interseismic stage, an over-compressed band forms above the BDT. The band dilates while rebounding in the coseismic stage and attracts fluids locally. At the tip lines along strike-slip faults, two couples of subvertical bands show different behavior, one in dilation/compression and one in compression/dilation. This deformation pattern inverts during the coseismic stage. Sometimes a pre-seismic stage in which fluids start moving may be observed and could potentially become a precursor.

    Estimating the expected seismicity rates of volcano-tectonic earthquakes at Mt. Etna (italy) by a geometric kinematic approach (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-01
    Description: Seismic hazard studies have been undertaken at Etna volcano in the last years with the aim of estimating the potential of local fault’s activity in generating destructive earthquakes. The target is the mid-term assessment (30, 20, 10 and 5 yrs), as the identification of zones that are exposed to the recurrent seismic shaking may be important for land planning at a local scale, and it represents a valuable complement to establish priority criteria for seismic risk reduction action. The methodologies applied at Mt. Etna area include probabilistic approaches based on the use of historical macroseismic data (the “site approach” by the software code SASHA, see Azzaro et al., 2008) and fault-based time-dependent models in which occurrence probabilities of major earthquakes are estimated through the Brownian Passage Time (BPT) function and the time lapsed since the last event (Azzaro et al., 2012b, 2013b). Mean return period of major earthquakes - strong to destructive events with epicentral intensity I0 ≥ VIII EMS, considered as “proxies” of “characteristic” earthquakes – have been obtained by the fault seismic histories, i.e. the associations “earthquake-seismogenic fault” derived from the historical catalogue of Etnean earthquakes (CMTE Working Group, 2014). Inter-time statistics of major earthquakes have been applied to the Timpe tectonic system, considered as a homogeneous seismotectonic domain (Azzaro et al., 2013b), obtaining a mean recurrence time (Tmean) of 71.3 years, and an aperiodicity factor α (σTmean/Tmean) = 0.42, typical of semi-periodic processes. In the present study we present the preliminary results of an analysis aimed at verifying the variability of the mean occurrence times of major earthquakes generated by the main tectonic systems at Etna (Pernicana and Timpe faults) by using a geological approach based on geometrickinematic parameters (3D dimensions, slip-rates etc) representative of fault activity.

    Mirror-like faults and power dissipation during earthquakes (2015)
    Geological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-17
    Description: Earthquakes occur along faults in response to plate tectonic movements, but paradoxically, are not widely recognized in the geological record, severely limiting our knowledge of earthquake physics and hampering accurate assessments of seismic hazard. Light-reflective (so-called mirror like) fault surfaces are widely observed geological features, especially in carbonate-bearing rocks of the shallow crust. Here we report on the occurrence of mirror-like fault surfaces cutting dolostone gouges in the Italian Alps. Using friction experiments, we demonstrate that the mirror-like surfaces develop only at seismic slip rates (∼1 m/s) and for applied normal stresses and sliding displacements consistent with those estimated on the natural faults. Under these experimental conditions, the frictional power density dissipated in the samples is comparable to that estimated for natural earthquakes (1–10 MW/m2). Our results indicate that mirror-like surfaces in dolostone gouges are a signature of seismic faulting, and can be used to estimate power dissipation during ancient earthquake ruptures.

    Transient anomaly in fault-zone trapped waves during the preparatory phase of the 6 April 2009, Mw 6.3 L’Aquila earthquake (2015)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Fault-zone trapped waves generated by repeating earthquakes of the 2009 L’Aquila seismic sequence show a sudden, up to 100% increase of spectral amplitudes seven days before the mainshock. The jump occurs ten to twenty hours after the ML 4.1, 30 March 2009 largest foreshock. The amplitude increase is accompanied by a loss of waveform coherence in the fault-trapped wavetrain. Other geophysical and seismological parameters are known to have shown a sudden change after the 30 March foreshock. The concomitance of a consistent change in the fault-zone trapped waves leads us to interpret our observation as due to a sudden temporal variation of the velocity contrast between the fault damage zone and hosting rocks in the focal volume. Fault-zone trapped waves thus provide a refined time resolution for changes occurring near the rupture nucleation, with the indication of a strong variation in one day.

    Seismic measurements to reveal short-term variations in the elastic properties of the Earth crust (2015)
    Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale-OGS
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Since the late 1960s - early 1970s, seismologists started studying the elastic properties of the Earth crust looking for signals from the Earth interior indicating that a large earthquake is coming. To be useful for prediction a signal needs to: 1) occur before most large earthquakes and 2) occur only before large earthquakes. Up to now, no one has ever found such a signal, but since the beginning of the search, seismologists developed theories that included variations of the elastic property of the Earth crust prior to the occurrence of a large earthquake. The most popular is the theory of the dilatancy: when a rock is subject to stress, the rock grains are shifted generating micro-cracks, thus the rock itself increases its volume. Inside the fractured rock, fluid saturation and pore pressure play an important role in earthquake nucleation, by modulating the effective stress. Thus measuring the variations of wave speed and of anisotropic parameter in time can be highly informative on how the stress leading to a major fault failure builds up. In 1980s and 1990s such kind of research on earthquake precursors slowed down and the priority was given to seismic hazard and ground motions studies, which are very important since these are the basis for the building codes in many countries. Today we have dense and sophisticated seismic networks to measure wave-fields characteristics: we archive continuous waveform data recorded at three components broad-band seismometers, we almost routinely obtain highresolution earthquake locations. Therefore we are ready to start to systematically look at seismic-wave propagation properties to possibly reveal short-term variations in the elastic properties of the Earth crust. One seismological quantity which, since the beginning, is recognized to be diagnostic of the level of fracturation and/or of the pore pressure in the rock, hence of its state of stress, is the ratio between the compressional (P-wave) and the shear (S-wave) seismic velocities: Vp/Vs. Variations of this ratio have been recently observed and measured during the preparatory phase of a major earthquake. In active fault areas and volcanoes, tectonic stress variation influences fracture field orientation and fluid migration processes, whose evolution with time can be monitored through the measurement of the anisotropic parameters. Through the study of S waves anisotropy it is therefore potentially possible to measure the presence, migration and state of the fluid in the rock traveled by seismic waves, thus providing a valuable route to understand the seismogenic phenomena and their precursors. On the other hand, only in the very recent times with the availability of the continuous seismic records, many authors have shown how it is possible to estimate the relative variations in the wave speed through the analysis of the crosscorrelation of the ambient seismic noise. In this paper we first analyze in detail these two seismological methods: shear wave splitting and seismic noise cross correlation, presenting a short historical review, their theoretical bases, the problems, learning, limitations and perspectives. We, then, compare the main results in terms of temporal trends of the observables retrieved applying both methods to the Pollino area (southern Apennines, Italy) case study.

    High-Resolution Densely Spaced Wide-Aperture Seismic Profiling as a Tool to Aid Seismic Hazard Assessment of Fault-Bounded Intramontane Basins: Application to Vallo di Diano, Southern Italy (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Seismic hazards in extensional regions are mostly posed by high-angle normal faults and deep hanging-wall basins that can promote significant groundmotion amplifications. Characterized by strong lateral velocity variations, these structures represent challenging targets for seismic exploration. In this paper, we show that prestack depth migration of high-resolution seismic-reflection data, collected with nonconventional dense wide-aperture arrays, can effectively assist deterministic seismic-hazard assessment of fault-bounded basins. Our high-resolution 3.2 km long seismic profile was acquired along Vallo di Diano, the largest fault-bounded intramontane basin in the southern Apennines seismic belt (Italy). The imaging strategy combines prestack depth migration with an iterative velocity-building technique that utilizes results of multiscale refraction tomography. In particular, migration of steeply dipping reflections is essential in imaging the complex morphology of the basement rocks beneath the basin. By combining seismic-reflection and VP tomography results we were able to evaluate (1) the structure of the Vallo di Diano basin along a representative transect from near-surface to basement depths; (2) the shallow-depth geometry of the Vallo di Diano fault system, which bounds the basin to the east; (3) the structure of the sediment–basement interface; and (4) the velocity structure of basement and sediments within the basin. These findings are valuable both for understanding the tectonic evolution of the Vallo di Diano and for developing earthquake-shaking scenario studies.

    Faulting and Ancient Earthquakes at Sybaris Archaeological Site, Ionian Calabria, Southern Italy (2015)
    Seismological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: The Sybaris archaeological site, founded by the Greeks in 720 B.C., is located within the Sibari Plain near the Crati River mouth (Ionian northern Calabria, southern Italy), in an almost flat and low-lying area (Fig. 1). The plain is bounded by the Pollino chain to the north and by the Sila massif and the northern Crati basin to the south and west. From a seismotectonic point of view, Sybaris is located inferences the northeastern Calabrian arc, the tectonic evolution of which is controlled by slow north-northwest/south-southeast convergence between the Eurasian and African–Adriatic continental plates (e.g., Gvirtzmann and Nur, 1999; Argnani, 2000; Jolivet and Faccenna, 2000). Throughout the Calabrian arc, complex dynamics associated with subduction and rollback have produced back-arc extension, widespread uplift, and relative subsidence in the major tectonic basins, including Sibari, where mainly normal seismogenic faults accommodate internal deformation. The interior of the Sibari Plain has a high seismogenic potential, and recently, on July 2010, theMt. Pollino chain area experienced a three-year seismic sequence with magnitudes up to 5.2 (Fig. 1), following 30 years of seismic quiescence. In contrast, low to moderate seismicity characterizes the eastern half of the plain closer to the Ionian Sea, where the archaeological site of Sybaris is located (Fig. 1). Although not well constrained, there is evidence for active compression in this portion of northern Calabria and the Ionian Sea, where mostly strike-slip faults aremapped (e.g., Frepoli and Amato, 2000; Galadini et al., 2001; Pondrelli et al., 2006; Scognamiglio et al., 2009; Comerci et al., 2013; Fig. 1), but significant uncertainty exists on locations, geometry, and age of these faults. The 2700-year long record of history stored in the archaeological site of Sybaris may have recorded the traces of earthquakes that occurred in the area by sealing their effects in the sediments and in the archaeological remains. An archaeoseismic study of the site constitutes a unique means to deepenour knowledge of the seismotectonic of the area. The recognition and characterization of the coseismic deformation affecting the structures of the Sybaris archaeological site is the objective of the present study. To identify past seismic deformation events at Sybaris, we proceeded with (1) a systematic survey of the deformed structures, (2) an analysis of the tectonic deformation, (3) the formulation of a hypothesis for tectonics and earthquakes inferences, and (4) constraints on the timing of the deformation based on archaeological stratigraphy and absolute dating.

    The role of pre-existing discontinuities in the development of extensional faults: an analog modeling perspective (2015)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-05-27
    Description: Several mountainous regions are currently affected by syn- or post-orogenic active extension. We investigate how a newly-formed normal fault interacts with structures inherited from a previous contractional phase. To this end, we use analog models that adopt an innovative technique for performing a precut that mimics such inherited structures into a clay layer; this clay layer is laid on top of a master fault simulated by two rigid blocks sliding along an inclined plane. We carry out six experiments with variously oriented precuts and compare the results with those obtained in a reference isotropic experiment. All other conditions are identical for all seven realizations. Fault evolution is monitored by taking closely-spaced snapshots analyzed through the Digital Image Correlation method. We find that the upward propagation of the normal fault can be either accelerated or decelerated depending on the presence of a precut and its orientation. Such precuts can also promote or inhibit the formation of bending-moment faults. These interactions between master fault and precut also affect the shape of the fault-related syncline-anticline pair.

    New insights into crustal structure, Cenozoic magmatism, CO2 degassing and seismogenesis in the southern Apennines and Irpinia region from local earthquake tomography (2015)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We present high-resolution Vp and Vp/Vs models of the southern Apennines (Italy) computed using local earthquakes recorded from 2006 to 2011 with a graded inversion scheme that progressively resolves the crustal structure, from the large scale of the Apennines belt to the local scale of the normal-fault system. High-Vp bodies defined in the upper and mid crust under the external Apennines are interpreted as extensive mafic intrusions revealing anorogenic magmatism episodes that broadened on the Adriatic domain during Paleogene. Under the mountain belt, a low-Vp region, annular to the Neapolitan volcanic district, indicates the existence of a thermal/fluid anomaly in the mid crust, coinciding with a shallow Moho and diffuse degassing of deeply derived CO2. In the belt axial zone, low Vp/Vs gas-pressurized rock volumes under the Apulian carbonates correlate to high heat flow, strong CO2-dominated gas emissions of mantle origin and shallow carbonate reservoirs with pressurized CO2 gas caps. We hypothesize that the pressurized fluid volumes located at the base of the active fault system influence the rupture process of large normal-faulting earthquakes, like the 1980 Mw6.9 Irpinia event, and that major asperities are confined within the high-Vp Apulian carbonates. This study confirms once more that pre-existing structures of the Pliocene Apulian belt controlled the rupture propagation during the Irpinia earthquake. The main shock broke a 30 km long, NE-dipping seismogenic structure, whereas delayed ruptures (both the 20 s and the 40 s sub-events) developed on antithetic faults, reactivating thrust faults located at the eastern edge of the Apulian belt.

    Geodetic and geological evidence of active tectonics in south-westernSicily (Italy) (2015)
    Elsevier Science Limited
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Integrated geological, geodetic and marine geophysical data provide evidence of active deformation insouth-western Sicily, in an area spatially coincident with the macroseismic zone of the destructive 1968Belice earthquake sequence. Even though the sequence represents the strongest seismic event recordedin Western Sicily in historical times, focal solutions provided by different authors are inconclusive onpossible faulting mechanism, which ranges from thrusting to transpression, and the seismogenic sourceis still undefined. Interferometric (DInSAR) observations reveal a differential ground motion on a SW–NEalignment between Campobello di Mazara and Castelvetrano (CCA), located just west of the maximummacroseismic sector. In addition, new GPS campaign-mode data acquired across the CCA alignment doc-uments NW–SE contractional strain accumulation. Morphostructural analysis allowed to associate thealignment detected through geodetic measurements with a topographic offset of Pleistocene marine sed-iments. The on-land data were complemented by new high-resolution marine geophysical surveys, whichindicate recent contraction on the offshore extension of the CCA alignment. The discovery of archaeo-logical remains displaced by a thrust fault associated with the alignment provided the first likely surfaceevidence of coseismic and/or aseismic deformation related to a seismogenic source in the area. Resultsof the integrated study supports the contention that oblique thrusting and folding in response to NW–SEoriented contraction is still active. Although we are not able to associate the CCA alignment to the 1968seismic sequence or to the historical earthquakes that destroyed the ancient Greek city of Selinunte,located on the nearby coastline, our result must be incorporated in the seismic hazard evaluation of thisdensely populated area of Sicily.

    SEISMIC ANISOTROPY AND MICRO-SEISMICITY IN THE UPPER CRUST AT NORTH OF GUBBIO BASIN (CENTRAL ITALY): RELATION WITH THE SUBSURFACE GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURES AND THE ACTIVE STRESS FIELD (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: During the months of April and May 2010, a seismic sequence (here named “Pietralunga seismic sequence”) took place in the northeastern part of the Gubbio basin (Northern Apennines); this area is well known to be interested by a continuous background micro-seismic activity. The sequence was recorded both by the INGV National Seismic Network, and by the stations installed by the Project “AIRPLANE” (financially supported by MIUR-Italian Ministry of Education and Research) with the aim of investigating the seismogenetic processes in the Alto Tiberina Fault (ATF) system region. In this work we present the anisotropic results at four stations: ATFO, ATPC, ATPI, ATVO located around the northern termination of the Gubbio basin that well delimit both the seismic se- quence and the whole 2010 seismicity (about 2500 events). The study of seismic anisotropy has provided useful information for the interpretation and evaluation of the stress field and active crustal deformation. Seismic anisotropy can yield valuable information on upper crustal structure, fracture field, and presence of fluid-saturated rocks. Moreover, the large number of seismic waveforms recorded especially during the Pietralunga sequence allows us also to study the spatio-temporal changes of anisotropic parameters to better understand its evolution and the possible correlation to the presence and migration of fluids.

    Reply to ‘Comments on the paper “Are the source models of the M 7.1 1908 Messina Straits earthquake reliable? Insights from a novel inversion and sensitivity analysis of levelling data” by Aloisi et al. (2012)’ (2015)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We reply to the comments of De Natale and Pino (2013) on the paper “Are the source models of the M 7.1 1908 Messina Straits earthquake reliable? Insights from a novel inversion and sensitivity analysis of levelling data” by Aloisi et al. (2012). We entirely reject their speculative comments and confirm our viewpoint about the impossibility of discriminating between the two oppositely dipping fault models on the basis of the levelling data alone; we state again that their role as a keystone for modellers is untenable. The comment of De Natale and Pino (2013) are welcomed insofar they give us the possibility to improve our previous analysis, and to criticize the mainstream hypothesis favoring to a low-angle East dipping fault in the Sicilian side of the Messina Straits as responsible of the 1908 destructive earthquake.

    Esperimento DIONYSUS: Deep structure of the IONian Sea and east SicilY: wide-angle seismic SUrvey of the Calabria Subduction zone and Tethys margins. Il contributo dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-24
    Description: Durante il mese di ottobre 2014 si è svolta nel Mar Ionio una campagna oceanografica franco-tedesca denominata DIONYSUS, acronimo di “Deep structure of the IONian sea and east sicilY : wide-angle seismic SUrvey ofthe calabria Subduction zone and tethys margins”, organizzata dal personale degli Istituti francesi del Laboratoire Domaines Océaniques1 (LDO) dell’Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer2 (IUEM) e dell’  3 (Ifremer) e tedeschi di GEOMAR ha contribuito anche l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) nella fase propositiva del progetto e in seguito nella realizzazione della campagna sismica per la parte di acquisizione a terra. Lo scopo della crociera DIONYSUS era di condurre un’indagine dettagliata del margine attivo del sud Italia, tra la Calabria e la Sicilia Orientale, una regione colpita più volte da terremoti e tsunami distruttivi; tra tutti ricordiamo il devastante terremoto del 1908 a Messina. L’esperimento era finalizzato all’acquisizione di profili sismici a rifrazione/riflessione a grande angolo nel Mare Ionio meridionale per l’imaging della crosta profonda e della Moho lungo il prisma di accrezione calabro e la Scarpata Ibleo-Maltese. In questo rapporto tecnico, dopo un breve riferimento relativo al progetto DIONYSUS, verrà descritto con maggior dettaglio il coinvolgimento dell’INGV, dalla fase di preparazione e realizzazione della campagna sismica a terra svoltasi in sinergia con i colleghi francesi e tedeschi sino alla predisposizione e la distribuzione del dataset acquisito. Per maggiori dettagli relativi al progetto, alla campagna sismica e ai primi risultati preliminari, consigliamo di riferirsi al rapporto dedicato della crociera “M111” [Kopp et al., 2014]. Vista la collaborazione con altri istituti di ricerca stranieri, in allegato è riportato in inglese un breve riassunto del lavoro e le schede stazioni.

    Radiography of a normal fault system by 64,000 high-precision earthquake locations: The 2009 L’Aquila (central Italy) case study (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-02
    Description: We studied the anatomy of the fault system where the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (MW 6.1) nucleated by means of ~64 k high-precision earthquake locations spanning 1 year. Data were analyzed by combining an automatic picking procedure for P and S waves, together with cross-correlation and double-difference location methods reaching a completeness magnitude for the catalogue equal to 0.7 including 425 clusters of similar earthquakes. The fault system is composed by two major faults: the high-angle L’Aquila fault and the listric Campotosto fault, both located in the first 10 km of the upper crust. We detect an extraordinary degree of detail in the anatomy of the single fault segments resembling the degree of complexity observed by field geologists on fault outcrops. We observe multiple antithetic and synthetic fault segments tens of meters long in both the hanging wall and footwall along with bends and cross fault intersections along the main fault and fault splays. The width of the L’Aquila fault zone varies along strike from 0.3 km where the fault exhibits the simplest geometry and experienced peaks in the slip distribution, up to 1.5 km at the fault tips with an increase in the geometrical complexity. These characteristics, similar to damage zone properties of natural faults, underline the key role of aftershocks in fault growth and co-seismic rupture propagation processes. Additionally, we interpret the persistent nucleation of similar events at the seismicity cutoff depth as the presence of a rheological (i.e., creeping) discontinuity explaining how normal faults detach at depth.

    Fault Directivity and Seismic Hazard (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In planning the design of structures in a region of potential seismic activity, a specification of the “strength” of the earthquake ground motion, or the most likelihood ground motion level, is needed. The earthquake occurrence, and its effects, is described as a stochastic process. Thus its realization is linked to state variables defined over a a known space through a continuous function. The Ground Motion Predictive Equation (GMPE) realize this function and, despite its shortcoming as an effective design tool to control damage (Priestly, 2003), it is still the most widely used representation of earthquake ground motion employed in engineering practice. As a consequence the majority of hazard estimations are based on the GMPE providing a ground motion specification as a function of a certain number of variables. In fact in many situation there are not enough data to allow a direct empirical specification of ground motion. Only few regions, i.e. Japan, have strong-motion network and data-banks sufficient to carry out seismic hazard assessment without the benefit of regionally-derived ground motion predictive model. The central role they hold in the hazard assessment motivates the recent efforts in better synthesize all available regional informations and general knowledge about earthquakes. The representation of the ground motion through the GMPE is simple compared to the complexity of the physical process involved. If only the magnitude and distance are taken into account, the GMPEs predict isoseismal curves that are expected to be isotropic around the hypocenter and uniform if no other effects are considered (i.e. site effects). Instead, the presence of a fault plane, across which a process of failure in shear develops, make this general formulation divert from the observations on a specific case. In fact the dynamic propagation of rupture results in anisotropy effects not included in the predictions although back-analyses of ground motions from past earthquakes have shown that such effects have a strong influence on the spatial distribution of ground motion.Although the anisotropy effects resulting from the propagation of rupture have been generally recognized and finally incorporated in predictions, its effect has not been tested yet in an hazard context. On the contrary, all the aforementioned issues motivate an in depth analysis of its contribution on the present tools of seismic hazard assessment. This work is mainly addressed to conduct such analysis. One guidance is provided answering to the following questions: Does directivity improves the performance of ground motion prediction in real time applications? Is directivity still effective in a PSHA framework? What deterministic hazard model can tell about directivity ?

    Coseismic ground deformation of the 6 April 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (central Italy, Mw6.3) (2015)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We provide field data of coseismic ground deformation related to the 6 April Mw 6.3 L’Aquila normal faulting earthquake. Three narrow fracture zones were mapped: Paganica‐Colle Enzano (P‐E), Mt. Castellano‐Mt. Stabiata (C‐S) and San Gregorio (SG). These zones define 13 km of surface ruptures that strike at 130–140°. We mapped four main types of ground deformation (free faces on bedrock fault scarps, faulting along synthetic splays and fissures with or without slip) that are probably due to the near‐surface lithology of the fault walls and the amount of slip that approached the surface coseismically. The P‐E and C‐S zones are characterized by downthrow to the SW (up to 10 cm) and opening (up to 12 cm), while the SG zone is characterized only by opening. Afterslip throw rates of 0.5–0.6 mm/day were measured along the Paganica fault, where paleoseismic evidence reveals recurring paleo‐earthquakes and post‐24.8 kyr slip‐rate ≥ 0.24 mm/yr.

    2010-2014 Seismic activity images the activated fault system in the Pollino area, at the Appennines-Calabrian arc boundary region (2015)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The main goal of this study is to increase the understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the ongoing seismic activity in the Pollino area and its influence on the seismic hazard of the Apennines-Calabrian arc boundary region. The study area, near the Pollino massif, is located at the northernmost edge of the Calabrian Arc, which is the last oceanic subduction segment along the Africa-Eurasian plate. The subduction results from the sinking of the Ionian oceanic plate beneath the Calabrian Arc-Southern Tyrrhenian Sea and is part of the fragmented tectonic boundary between two macro-plates: Africa and Eurasia. The subduction geometry is well-documented by several seismological studies (i.e. Chiarabba et al., 2005), and the lithospheric structure of the area is quietly well known (i.e. Totaro et al., 2014 and Piana Agostinetti and Amato, 2009) Despite the slow N-S convergence between these major plates, the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea is a large basin characterized by E-W extensional tectonic. Since Late Miocene, the Calabrian Arc slab experienced rapid rollback, moving E to SE at a rate of 5-6 cm/yr, which is by far higher than the ~1-2 cm/yr rate of convergence between Africa and Europa (Faccenna et al., 2004). However, during late Pleistocene, rollback and subduction have slowed and is likely proceeding at less than 1 cm/yr (D’Agostino and Selvaggi., 2004). Geodetic measurements show that the Pollino Range is subject to NE-SW anti-apenninic extension. In the region the strain rate field shows a continuous belt of extensional deformation that follows the ridge of the Southern Apennines and extends in the Pollino region. The extension rate appears to decrease from the Southern Apennines to the Calabria- Lucania border region (D’Agostino et al., 2013). This finding indeed reveals that the Pollino region is deforming and accumulating tectonic strain which results in a complex system of normal active faults striking sub-parallel to the Apennines. Two principal normal faults are present in the Italian Database of the Individual Seismogenic Sources DISS version 3.1.1 (DISS Working Group, 2010) in the Pollino area: the Pollino (P) fault and the “Rimendiello-Mormanno” (RM) fault system. The RM fault is an active seismogenic structure it strikes about NNW-SSE and dips toward NE; it has hosted in its northernmost part a M 5.0 earthquake on 9th September 1998. The P fault has similar strike but dips toward SW: it shows no recent seismicity and is hence one of the most prominent seismic gaps in the Italian historical seismic catalogue (Rovida et al., 2011). Paleoseismic studies have shown that the P fault was active in the last ten thousand years and is capable to produce events with magnitude above 6.0. The DISS database reports as debated source also the Piana Perretti fault (Brozzetti et al., 2009). A detailed structural map of the area interested by the seismic sequence shows three fault systems (Brozzetti et al., 2013) consisting of several aligned fault segments that have been active during the Late Pleistocene and are reasonably presently active. The first fault system strikes NW-SE and dips toward SW (including the Piana Perretti fault at the NE edge of the Mercure Basin), the second one has similar strike and NE dip, while the third one strikes about E-W. Earthquakes reported in the historical catalogues for this area are not very strong. Few earthquakes with magnitude probably less than 6 affected the area, including the Mw=5.6 “Mercure” event in 1998 (Brozzetti et al., 2009). The Parametric Catalogue of Italian earthquakes (CPTI11, Rovida et al., 2011), shows very well the lack of strong earthquakes in the region: there is a clear evidence of large earthquakes in the Campania-Basilicata area (M~7.0) and several strong earthquakes in the Sila region and in the whole Calabrian territory. According to the seismic classification of the national territory, the area affected by the 2010-2014 seismic activity have a relatively higher probability to be shaken by a strong acceleration (Gruppo di Lavoro MPS, 2004). Most of the seismic events occurred in areas where the peak ground acceleration having 10% chance of being exceeded in next 50 years is between the values of 0.225 g and 0.275 g.

    Effect of water on the frictional behavior of cohesive rocks during earthquakes (2015)
    Geological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-12-16
    Description: Fluid-rock interactions can control earthquake nucleation and the evolution of earthquake sequences. Experimental studies of fault frictional properties in the presence of fl uid can provide unique insights into these interactions. We report the fi rst results from experiments performed on cohesive silicate-bearing rocks (microgabbro) in the presence of pressurized pore fl uids (H2 O, drained conditions) at realistic seismic deformation conditions. The experimental data are compared with those recently obtained from carbonate-bearing rocks (Carrara marble). Contrary to theoretical arguments, and consistent with the interpretation of some fi eld observations, we show that frictional melting of a microgabbro develops in the presence of water. In microgabbro, the initial weakening mechanism (fl ash melting of the asperities) is delayed in the presence of water; conversely, in calcite marble the weakening mechanism (brittle failure of the asperities) is favored. This opposite behavior highlights the importance of host-rock composition in controlling dynamic (frictional) weakening in the presence of water: cohesive carbonate-bearing rocks are more prone to slip in the presence of water, whereas the presence of water might delay or inhibit the rupture nucleation and propagation in cohesive silicate-bearing rocks.

    Effect of glass on the frictional behavior of basalts at seismic slip rates (2015)
    American Geophysical Union
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-12-16
    Description: We performed 31 friction experiments on glassy basalts (GB) and glass-free basalts (GFB) at slip rates up to 6.5 m s−1 and normal stress up to 40 MPa (seismic conditions). Frictional weakening was associated to bulk frictional melting and lubrication. The weakening distance (Dw) was about 3 times shorter in GB than in GFB, but the steady state friction was systematically higher in GB than in GFB. The shorter Dw in GB may be explained by the thermal softening occurring at the glass transition temperature (Tg ~500°C), which is lower than the bulk melting temperature (Tm ~1250°C) of GFB. Postexperiment microanalyses suggest that the larger crystal fraction measured in GB melts results in the higher steady state friction value compared to the GFB melts. The effect of interstitial glass is to facilitate frictional instability and rupture propagation in GB with respect to GFB.

    Description: The Longmenshan fault that ruptured during the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan (China) earthquake was drilled to a depth of 1200 m, and fault rocks including those in the 2008 earthquake slip zone were recovered at a depth of 575–595 m. We report laboratory strength measurements and microstructural observations from samples of slip zone fault rocks at deformation conditions expected for coseismic slip at borehole depths. Results indicate that the Longmenshan fault at this locality is extremely weak at seismic slip rates. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that graphite was formed along localized slip zones in the experimental products, similar to the occurrence of graphite in the natural principal slip zone of the 2008 Wenchuan rupture. We surmise that graphitization occurred due to frictional heating of carbonaceous minerals. Because graphitization was associated with strong dynamic weakening in the experiments, we further infer that the Longmenshan fault was extremely weak at borehole depths during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, and that enrichment of graphite along localized slip zones could be used as an indicator of transient frictional heating during seismic slip in the upper crust.
