    Description: We investigate in detail the crustal layering of the ‘Val di Chiana Basin’ (Northern Apennines, Tuscany, Italy) through receiver functions and seismic anisotropy with hexagonal symmetry. The teleseismic data set is recorded in correspondence of a typical foreland basin resulting by the progressive eastward retreat of a regional-scale subduction zone trapped between two continents. We study the azimuthal variations of the computed and binned receiver functions associated to a harmonic angular analysis to emphasize the presence of the dipping and the anisotropic structures. The resulting S-wave velocity model shows interesting and new results for this area that we discuss in a regional geodynamic contest contributing to the knowledge of the structure of the forearc of the subduction zone. A dipping interface (N192°E strike, 18° dip) has been revealed at about 1.5 km depth, that separates the basin sediments and flysch from the carbonates and evaporites. Moreover, we interpret the two upper-crust anisotropic layers (at about 6 and 17 km depth) as the Hercynian Phyllites and Micaschists, of the Metamorphic Tuscan Basement. At relatively shallow depths, the presence of these metamorphic rocks causes the seismic anisotropy in the upper crust. The presence of shallow anisotropic layers is a new and interesting feature, first revealed in the study area. Beneath the crust–mantle transition (Moho), located about 28 km depth, our analysis reveals a 7-km-thick anisotropic layer.

    Description: We present the surface wave dispersion results of the application of the ambient noise method to broad-band data recorded at 114 stations from the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vul- canologia (INGV) national broad-band network, some stations of the Mediterranean Very Broadband Seismographic Network (MedNet) and of the Austrian Central Institute for Me- teorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG). Vertical-component ambient noise data from 2005 October to 2007 March have been cross-correlated for station-pairs to estimate fundamental mode Rayleigh wave Green’s functions. Cross-correlations are calculated in 1-hr segments, stacked over periods varying between 3 months and 1.5 yr. Rayleigh wave group dispersion curves at periods from 8 to 44 s were determined using the multiple-filter analysis technique. The study region was divided into a 0.2◦ × 0.2◦ grid to invert for group velocity distribu- tions. Checkerboard tests were first carried out, and the lateral resolution was estimated to be about 0.6◦. The resulting group velocity maps from 8 to 36 s show the significant difference of the crustal structure and good correlations with known geological and tectonic features in the study region. The Po Plain and the Southern Alps evidence lower group veloci- ties due to soft alluvial deposits, and thick terrigenous sediments. Our results also clearly showed that the Tyrrhenian Sea is characterized with much higher velocities below 8 km than the Italian peninsula and the Adriatic Sea which indicates a thin oceanic crust beneath the Tyrrhenian Sea.

    Notes: Abstract An investigation of the crustal response in the time and frequency domains is presented to show that for models with similar crustal transit times of P and S waves, any important changes in the internal configuration of the crust such as layering, layer thickness and velocity contrast only influence the amplitudes of the transfer function ratio. Frequency positions of peaks and troughs remain unperturbed unless the total transit time of P and/or S waves through the crust are varied. This would imply that fine crustal structure derived from a matching of peak positions of observed spectral ratios with theoretical transfer function ratios, as is commonly practiced, is not very meaningful. This limitation in the application of the spectral ratio method for detailed crustal structure is demonstrated using two recent applications of this technique.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une nouvelle interprétation des données sismiques ALP75 acquises dans la partie nord-ouest de l'arc alpin est présentée sur la base de la méthode du tracé de rai en milieu bi-dimensionel. La structure de la croûte est totalement différente sous les chaînes subalpines septentrionales et sous la partie interne de l'arc alpin. Dans le premier cas, la croûte présente des réflecteurs intermédiaires qui plongent vers l'est-sud-est à 30° environ alors que dans le second cas, aucune stratification n'apparaît clairement. Sous les chaînes subalpines septentrionales, la limite croûte inférieure et supérieure est trés irrégulière tandis que le Moho et une discontinuité dans la croûte inférieure ne présentent pas ce même caractère. On peut mettre cette particularité en relation avec la rhéologie de la croûte qui a un comportement plus cassant en surface et plus ductile en profondeur. Une zone à moindre vitesse est mise en évidence sous la partie interne de l'arc alpin entre 11 et 23 km de profondeur. On présente une tentative de synthèse des résultats obtenus par sondages sismiques profonds dans le sud-est de la France depuis 1956. La croûte est stratifiée au nord d'une ligne Cévennes-Aiguilles Rouges et amorphe au sud. Cette ligne, qui est l'ancienne limite entre la plaque européenne et la sous-plaque provençale, s'est peut-être comportée comme une zone de faiblesse lors de l'orogenèse alpine. Elle a pu favoriser le développement d'un chevauchement crustal au niveau de la zone à moindre vitesse, de comportement plus plastique. La signification physique des inversions de vitesse dans la croûte est finalement abordée: elles n'apparaissent peut-être que dans les régions tectoniques actives, là ou les densités de dislocations sont élevées.
    Notes: Abstract Seismic data provided by the ALP75 experiment in the northwestern part of the Alpine Arc has been re-evaluated using ray-tracing techniques in a laterally inhomogeneous medium, thus improving a previous interpretation. The structure of the crust definitely appears to be different in the Northern Subalpine Chains where it is layered with an ESE mean dip of 30° and in the inner part of the Alpine Are where no clear stratification can be derived from the available data. In the Northern Subalpine Chains the boundary between the upper and lower crust is found to be extremely uneven whereas the Moho discontinuity underneath as well as a boundary in the lower crust shows no evidence of unevenness. This pattern can be ascribed to the rheological properties of the crust which has a birttle behaviour at shallow depths and a more plastic behaviour underneath. A velocity reversal is found under the inner part of the Alpine Arc at a depth of 11 to 23 km. An attempt is made to synthesize deep seismic sounding data which have been accumulated since 1956 in southeastern France. The crust is stratified to the north of a line Cévennes-Aiguilles Rouges and amorphous to the south. This line, which is the former boundary between the European plate and the Provence subplate, is thought to have acted as a weak zone during the Alpine orogeny. A crustal overthrust could have occurred in this region which would have been furthered by the higher plasticity of the low-velocity zone. Finally we speculate on the physical significance of intracrustal velocity reversals and suggest they are associated with active tectonic areas where dislocation densities are high.
