“…Aeromagnetic surveys are largely applied in subsurface exploration (ore and oil exploration), environmental and ground-water investigation, and geological mapping. Moreover, recent works from the western US, Australia, Antarctica and Southern Italy show that high-resolution magnetic surveys can provide new insights on the crustal setting, highlighting previously unrecognized upper crust fault geometry (Aitken & Betts, 2009;Blakely et al, 2000;Chiappini, Ferraccioli, Bozzo, & Damaske, 2002;Dentith, Clark, & Featherstone, 2009;Grauch, Hudson, & Minor, 2001;Grauch & Hudson, 2007;Hudson, Grauch, & Minor, 2008;Minelli et al, 2016). Calabria (Southern Italy) is one of the most seismically active regions of Italy as witnessed by the occurrence of several destructive earthquakes (M 6-7) in recent centuries (Galli, Scionti, & Spina, 2007).…”
