    Aseismic deformation associated with an earthquake swarm in the northern Apennines (Italy) (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-15
    Description: Analyzing the displacement time series from continuous GPS (cGPS) with an Independent Component Analysis, we detect a transient deformation signal that correlates both in space and time with a seismic swarm activity (maximum Mw =3.69±0.09) occurred in the hanging wall of the Altotiberina normal fault (Northern Apennines, Italy) in 2013–2014. The geodetic transient lasted ∼6 months and produced a NW-SE trending extension of ∼5.3 mm, consistent with the regional tectonic regime. The seismicity and the geodetic signal are consistent with slip on two splay faults in the Altotiberina fault (ATF) hanging wall. Comparing the seismic moment associated with the geodetic transient and the seismic events, we observe that seismicity accounts for only a fraction of the measured geodetic deformation. The combined seismic and aseismic slip decreased the Coulomb stress on the locked shallow portion of the ATF, while the transition region to the creeping section has been loaded.

    New insights into active tectonics and seismogenic potential of the Italian Southern Alps from vertical geodetic velocities (2020)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-09-07
    Description: This study presents and discusses horizontal and vertical geodetic velocities for a low strain rate region of the south Alpine thrust front in northeastern Italy obtained by integrating GPS, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and leveling data. The area is characterized by the presence of subparallel, south-verging thrusts whose seismogenic potential is still poorly known. Horizontal GPS velocities show that this sector of the eastern Southern Alps is undergoing ∼1 mm a−1 of NW–SE shortening associated with the Adria–Eurasia plate convergence, but the horizontal GPS velocity gradient across the mountain front provides limited constraints on the geometry and slip rate of the several subparallel thrusts. In terms of vertical velocities, the three geodetic methods provide consistent results showing a positive velocity gradient, of ∼ 1.5 mm a−1, across the mountain front, which can hardly be explained solely by isostatic processes. We developed an interseismic dislocation model whose geometry is constrained by available subsurface geological reconstructions and instrumental seismicity. While a fraction of the measured uplift can be attributed to glacial and erosional isostatic processes, our results suggest that interseismic strain accumulation at the Montello and the Bassano–Valdobbiadene thrusts it significantly contributing to the measured uplift. The seismogenic potential of the Montello thrust turns out to be smaller than that of the Bassano–Valdobbiadene fault, whose estimated parameters (locking depth equals 9.1 km and slip rate equals 2.1 mm a−1) indicate a structure capable of potentially generating a Mw〉6.5 earthquake. These results demonstrate the importance of precise vertical ground velocity data for modeling interseismic strain accumulation in slowly deforming regions where seismological and geomorphological evidence of active tectonics is often scarce or not conclusive.

    Active Fold‐Thrust Belt to Foreland Transition in Northern Adria, Italy, Tracked by Seismic Reflection Profiles and GPS Offshore Data (2020)
    Wiley Agu
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-15
    Description: The Adria microplate is the foreland of the oppositely verging Apennines and Alps or Dinarides fold‐thrust belts associated to the related subduction zones. Along its western margin, the Adria plate hosts the active Northern Apennines accretionary prism, which is buried under the Adriatic Sea and the Po Plain. The interpretation of seismic reflection profiles and borehole data allowed us to define the geometry of the transition from the Apennines fold‐thrust belt to its undeformed foreland. Moreover, continuous GPS (CGPS) data from offshore hydrocarbon platforms anchored to the seabed of the northern Adriatic plate allow to measure present‐day kinematics. Although the CGPS signals are affected by non‐tectonic components associated with hydrocarbon extraction, the integration of geodetic analysis, subsurface geological reconstructions, and analytical modeling allowed us to constrain the ongoing tectonic activity. Shortening is currently accommodated by aseismic slip along the basal detachment, likely accumulating elastic energy along the frontal ramp that may eventually seismically slip. Our multidisciplinary study suggests that the study area may not be sheltered from relevant seismic sequences similar to the Mw 6 Emilia 2012 events and that the occurrence of potential seismogenic sources in the area should be carefully evaluated. Similar studies may be useful to constrain the present‐day activity in other marine areas and to identify potential and hitherto unrecognized seismogenic sources along the entire Apennines belt and other accretionary prisms worldwide.

    Geopositioning time series from offshore platforms in the Adriatic Sea (2021)
    Nature P.G.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-07
    Description: We provide a dataset of 3D coordinate time series of 37 continuous GNSS stations installed for stability monitoring purposes on onshore and offshore industrial settlements along a NW-SE-oriented and ~100-km-wide belt encompassing the eastern Italian coast and the Adriatic Sea. The dataset results from the analysis performed by using different geodetic software (Bernese, GAMIT/GLOBK and GIPSY) and consists of six raw position time series solutions, referred to IGb08 and IGS14 reference frames. Time series analyses and comparisons evidence that the different solutions are consistent between them, despite the use of different software, models, strategy processing and frame realizations. We observe that the offshore stations are subject to significant seasonal oscillations probably due to seasonal environmental loads, seasonal temperature-induced platform deformation and hydrostatic pressure variations. Many stations are characterized by non-linear time series, suggesting a complex interplay between regional (long-term tectonic stress) and local sources of deformation (e.g. reservoirs depletion, sediment compaction). Computed raw time series, logs files, phasor diagrams and time series comparison plots are distributed via PANGAEA ( https://www.pangaea.de ).

    Geodetic slip-rates from block-modeling of a dense GPS velocity field in Italy: new clues on seismic potential from comparison with seismic moment release (2014)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-05-15
    Description: The growing number of GPS stations in Italy and surrounding regions allows to study, with increasingly spatial details, the velocity gradients across the major seismogenic faults belonging to the complex Central Mediterranean segment of the Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary. If the regional scale pattern of the strain-rate field has been already constrained by several authors, adopting different schemes of sparse velocities interpolation algorithms, showing consistency with seismotectonics data, an estimate of the geodetic slilp-rates at a regional scale is still missing. In this work we use data from 〉 1000 GPS stations to determine a uniformly defined velocity field, though the analysis of position time-series realized in the ITRF08 reference frame. We use an elastic block-modeling approach to model interseismic fault slip-rates while accounting for rotations of crustal blocks within the complex Central Mediterranean microplates mosaic. We use available catalogues of active faults and instrumental seismicity to define the model geometry, where faults are parameterized as uniformly slipping rectangular planes. The model provides a good fit to the horizontal velocities and fault kinematics that are largely consistent with other geological and seismotectonics information. The estimated geodetic slip-rates are generally faster than the geological ones, considering the large uncertainties associated to the available geologic rates. We use the best-fit block model to calculate a continuous horizontal velocity field and the resulting strain-rate field, which is converted into seismic-moment accumulation rate. We compare the geodetic moment rate with the seismic moment rate obtained from summation of historical and instrumental seismic catalogues, homogeneously pre-processed. The comparison shows areas characterized by moment deficits, opening new clues on the seismic potential of Italy.

    Effects of layered crust on the coseismic slip inversion and related CFF variations: Hints from the 2012 Emilia Romagna earthquake (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-10-10
    Description: The 2012 Emilia Romagna (Italy) seismic sequence has been extensively studied given the occurrence of two mainshocks, both temporally and spatially close to each other. The recent literature accounts for several fault models, obtained with different inversion methods and different datasets. Several authors investigated the possibility that the second event was triggered by the first mainshock with elusive results. In this work, we consider all the available InSAR and GPS datasets and two planar fault geometries, which are based on both seismological and geological constraints. We account for a layered, elastic half-space hosting the dislocation and compare the slip distribution resulting from the inversion and the related changes in Coulomb Failure Function (CFF) obtained with both a homogeneous and layered half-space. Finally, we focus on the interaction between the two main events, discriminating the contributions of coseismic and early postseismic slip of the mainshock on the generation of the second event and discuss the spatio-temporal distribution of the seismic sequence. When accounting for both InSAR and GPS geodetic data we are able to reproduce a detailed coseismic slip distribution for the two mainshocks that is in accordance with the overall aftershock seismicity distribution. Furthermore, we see that an elastic medium with depth dependent rigidity better accounts for the lack of the shallow seismicity, amplifying, with respect to the homogeneous case, the mechanical interaction of the two mainshocks

    Fault Geometry, Coseismic Slip Distribution and Coulomb Stress Change Associated to the 6 April 2009, Mw 6.3, L’Aquila Earthquake Imaged From Inversion of GPS Displacements (2014)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: After the April, 6 2009 Mw=6.3 L’Aquila earthquake, the coseimic deformation has measured by 〉 70 Global Positioning System (GPS) stations. We use a rectangular uniform-slip dislocation and a constrained, non-linear optimization algorithm, obtaining a rupture occurred on a N129°E striking and 50° SW-ward dipping normal fault. Our distributed slip model exhibits the highest slip of the order of ∼1 m. We do also bootstrap and resolution analysis to quantify goodness of our model. We analyze the Coulomb stress change affected by the major aftershocks, and compare the results obtained from the uniform slip and the heterogeneous slip models.

    Kinematic model of active extension across the Umbria-Marche Apennines from GPS measurements: fault slip-rates and interseismic coupling of the Alto Tiberina low-angle normal fault (2014)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Umbria-Marche Apennines are characterized mainly by SW-NE oriented extensional deformation and most of major historical and instrumental earthquakes occurred mainly on the western side of chain, bounded by west-dipping buried high-angle normal faults. Recent studies about the northernmost part of Umbria-Marche region show seismic and tectonic activity on correspondence of the east-dipping Alto Tiberina (AT) low-angle normal fault (LANF), which is widely documented by geological data and deep seismic reflection profiles. In this area which of the known fault systems play a major role in accommodating the extension, and which are the modes (seismic VS aseismic deformation) this extension is taken up, is still a debated topic. During last years on Umbria-Marche Apennines close to Gubbio fault (GuF) a dense network of continuous GPS stations, belonging to the RING-INGV network, has been installed, improving significantly the spatial resolution of the detectable geodetic gradients. We used a self-consistent kinematic block modeling to study this sector of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, in order to understand which fault system is accommodating the tectonic extension. We found that both fault systems, i.e. the Alto Tiberina LANF and the antithetic high-angle normal faults, are needed to better reproduce the nearfield GPS velocities, obtaining kinematic agreement with geological slip-rates. Moreover we parameterized the ATF fault as a, more realistic, curved surface to infer the distribution of interseismic coupling (IC), which is validated by numerous resolution tests. The obtained IC distribution shows a correlation between relocated microseismicity and uncoupled patches attributed to aseismic creeping behavior, which could be explained by the presence of fluid overpressure. Otherwise this correlation has been verified with a very small quantity of events (almost 400) and it might be of interest to evaluate this correlation with future available data.

    Kinematic block modeling of GPS velocities in Italy and seismic potential (2014)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We use a dense GPS velocity field, from the analysis of 〉1000 continuous stations, and elastic block modeling to study the interseismic strain accumulation along the Alpine and Apennines active tectonic belts in Italy. We consider available fault catalogues, instrumental and historical seismicity to determine the blocks boundaries geometry, parameterized as uniformly slipping rectangular planes. We invert horizontal velocities to estimate Euler vectors of tectonic blocks together with slip-rates at block-bounding faults. When allowed by density of GPS data, we optimize faults dip and locking-depth by searching the parameters that provide the best fit to local GPS data. Overall we obtain a good fit of the horizontal velocities and geodetic slip rates that are kinematically consistent with available geological and seismotectonic information. We use the best-fit geometric and kinematic model parameters to compute the expected GPS velocities over a dense regular grid. Denser model velocities are used to estimate the velocity gradient field on a regular grid, made by cell elements of 0.25°x0.25°. Geodetic strain-rates at each cell are converted into seismic moment accumulation rates, following the Kostrov formulation, considering as seismogenic thickness values obtained from a crustal (EPcrust) model and earthquake hypocentral distribution. Geodetic moment accumulation rates are compared with seismic moment rates released by earthquakes, obtained from the analysis of a seismic catalogue realized by merging several instrumental and historical catalogues covering the 1600-2012 timespan, and uniformly defined moment magnitudes. The comparison between geodetic moment accumulation rates and seismic moment release rates highlights regions with significant moment deficits but also areas with a surplus of the seismic moment released, with important implications for seismic hazard evaluations and assumptions behind the approach used in this work.
