    Surface wave tomography in the European and Mediterranean region (2009)
    Blackwell Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We present a new surface-wave tomographic study of the broad European and Mediterranean region. Our goal is to enhance the resolution of previously published group velocity models using new data from European permanent seismic networks and a dense broad-band array in Northern Apennines (RETREAT). We measure fundamental mode Rayleigh and Love wave group velocities from long-period seismograms recorded at regional distance (between 600 and 7000 km). Our measurement technique is based on iterative application of multiple filters and phase-matched filters; we accurately estimate dispersion curves for more than 1500 Rayleigh wave and about 850 Love wave paths in the period range 35–170 s. Consistency of measurements is evaluated by comparing ray clusters from sample earthquakes to closely spaced RETREAT stations. In the whole data set, measurement errors in group velocity decrease with increasing distance and show to be caused by inaccuracy in the estimate of group arrival time. We calculate maps of Love and Rayleigh group velocity at selected periods by linear tomographic inversion, accounting for group arrival time errors and evaluating a posteriori group slowness errors. Data coverage in this region is not uniform, and it is highly influenced by the uneven distribution of earthquakes and seismic stations. We therefore build a laterally heterogeneous reference model by inverting a global data set of group velocity derived from the phase velocity library of Ekström et al. (1997). Use of this reference as an a priori model during inversion improves preliminary data coverage at the borders of our study region and warrants consistency with global models. The implications of different regularization constraints (mathematically equivalent to norm damping or smoothing with different criteria) are analysed and compared. Group velocity maps confirm the large-scale geological lineaments known for the region: short-periods maps differentiate well among thinner oceanic and thicker continental crust; the most dominant feature in long-period maps is the difference between the fast Precambrian East European Platform and the low velocity signature of central Europe and western Mediterranean, separated by a sharp gradient in correspondence of the Tornquist–Tesseyre Zone. The seismically active Tethyan Belt is clearly marked by a continuous slow anomaly. Smaller scale, possibly thermally related, low velocity anomalies are found under Iceland and Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Rhine Graben and Tyrrhenian back-arc basin, whereas the Hellenic Arc is characterized by fast velocity.

    Tectonic features of the Lipari–Vulcano complex (Aeolian archipelago, Italy) from 10 years (1996–2006) of GPS data (2008)
    Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The tectonic deformation of the Lipari-Vulcano complex, one of the most important active volcanic areas of Mediterranean region, is studied here through the analysis of ten years (1996-2006) of GPS data from both 3 permanent and 13 non-permanent stations. This area can be considered crucial for the understanding of the Eurasia-Africa plates interaction in the Mediterranean area, and, in general, this work emphasize a methodological approach, already applied in other areas worldwide (e.g. Shen et al., 1996, El-Fiki and Kato, 1999) where geodetic data and strain parameters maps of critical areas can help to improve our understanding of their geodynamical aspects. In this framework, this study is aimed at providing a kinematic deformation model on the basis of the dense geodetically estimated velocities of the Lipari-Vulcano complex. In particular, the observed deformation pattern can be described by a mix between 1) the main N-S regional compression and 2) a NNE-SSW compression with a small right-lateral strike slip component acting along a tectonic structure N°40W trending located between the two islands. This pattern was inspected through a simplified synthetic model.

    Geodetic and seismologic evidence for slip variability along a blind normal fault in the Umbria-Marche 1997–1998 earthquakes (central Italy) (2008)
    Blackwell Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We analysed elevation changes induced by the 1997–1998 Umbria-Marche, central Apennines (Italy) earthquakes. We employed data from a first-order geodetic levelling line measured in 1951, 1992 and 1998. The line bears a record of pre-seismic and coseismic strains associated with the causative fault of the 1997 September 26, 09:40 mainshock (Mw = 6.0). A first level analysis performed under the assumption of slip homogeneity of coseismic slip shows misfits that cannot be reduced simply by altering the fault size and geometry. A more detailed analysis based on a distribution of coseismic slip obtained from broad-band seismograms provides a better fit and is in agreement with 1951–1992 elevation changes interpreted as precursory slip by previous investigators. The levelling data sets new constraints on the location, extent, dip and depth of the fault, in full agreement with seismological evidence and images from SAR interferometry. The data show no evidence for slip in the uppermost 3 km of the crust, suggesting that a major and widely recognized normal fault that exists in the area is no longer active and showing a tendency of present tectonic strains to revert the current topographic setting.

    Empirical H/V spectral ratios estimated in two deep sedimentary basins using microseisms recorded by short-period seismometers (2008)
    Blackwell Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In this work, we analyse continuous measurements of microseisms to assess the reliability of the fundamental resonance frequency estimated by means of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) spectral ratio within the 0.1–1 Hz frequency range, using short-period sensors (natural period of 1 s). We apply the H/V technique to recordings of stations installed in two alluvial basins with different sedimentary cover thicknesses—the Lower Rhine Embayment (Germany) and the Gubbio Plain (Central Italy). The spectral ratios are estimated over the time–frequency domain, and we discuss the reliability of the results considering both the variability of the microseism activity and the amplitude of the instrumental noise. We show that microseisms measured by short period sensors allow the retrieval of fundamental resonance frequencies greater than about 0.1–0.2 Hz, with this lower frequency bound depending on the relative amplitude of themicroseism signal and the self-noise of the instruments. In particular,we show an examplewhere the considered short-period sensor is connected to instruments characterized by an instrumental noise level which allows detecting only fundamental frequencies greater than about 0.4 Hz. Since the frequency at which the peak of the H/V spectral ratio is biased depends upon the seismic signal-to-instrument noise ratio, the power spectral amplitude of instrumental self-noise should be always considered when interpreting the frequency of the peak as the fundamental resonance frequency of the investigated site
