This study, involving remote sensing, seismology, and geology, revealed complex faulting during the mainshock of the Ston–Slano earthquake sequence (5 September, 1996, Mw = 6.0). The observed DInSAR interferogram fringe patterns could not be explained by a single fault rupture. Geological investigations assigned most of the interferogram features either to previously known faults or to those newly determined by field studies. Relocation of hypocentres and reassessment of fault mechanisms provided additional constraints on the evolution of stress release during this sequence. Available data support the scenario that the mainshock started with a reverse rupture with a left-lateral component on the Slano fault 4.5 km ESE of Slano, at the depth of about 11 km. The rupture proceeded unilaterally to the NW with the velocity of about 1.5 km/s for about 11 km, where the maximum stress release occurred. DInSAR interferograms suggest that several faults were activated in the process. The rupture terminated about 20 km away from the epicentre, close to the town of Ston, where the maximum DInSAR ground displacement reached 38 cm. Such a complicated and multiple rupture has never before been documented in the Dinarides. If this proves to be a common occurrence, it can pose problems in defining realistic hazard scenarios, especially in deterministic hazard assessment.

Monitoring is important for assessing the stability of the ground and for confirming the validity of the design during the construction and operation of structures. The ideal monitoring system for projects in Rock and Geotechnical Engineering would be able to monitor the behavior of small to extensive areas continuously and automatically with high accuracy. In addition, the costs would be low and the system would be easy to handle. Satellite technology has the potential to realize the above monitoring system by combining it with conventional geotechnical instruments. In this paper, satellite technology for displacement monitoring, i.e., GPS and SAR, is firstly outlined and then the concept of spatiotemporal continuous displacement monitoring is introduced. The use of both satellite technology and geotechnical instruments is effective for geotechnical monitoring. Practical applications of GPS for landslide monitoring and collaborative researches using DInSAR with Balkan countries are described.

“…The karst hydrogeological system and its vulnerable groundwater resources effectively prevent any type of CO 2 geological storage there. The other reason is generally moderate to locally strong seismic activity [1,2], which would put both the surface installations and subsurface storage objects at risk. Thus, in prospecting for geological conditions favourable for a safe and prospective CO 2 geological storage in Croatia, one is directed both to the south-western part of the Pannonian basin and to the Adriatic offshore, the latter being far less explored but still covered by a comprehensive geological dataset, adequate for screening.…”

Potential for the Geological Storage of CO2 in the Croatian Part of the Adriatic Offshore

et al. 2019

Every country with a history of petroleum exploration has acquired geological knowledge of its sedimentary basins and might therefore make use of a newly emerging resource—as there is the potential to decarbonise energy and industry sectors by geological storage of CO2. To reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to meeting the Paris agreement targets, Croatia should map this potential. The most prospective region is the SW corner of the Pannonian basin, but there are also offshore opportunities in the Northern and Central Adriatic. Three “geological storage plays” are suggested for detailed exploration in this province. Firstly, there are three small gas fields (Ida, Ika and Marica) with Pliocene and Pleistocene reservoirs suitable for storage and they can be considered as the first option, but only upon expected end of production. Secondly, there are Miocene sediments in the Dugi otok basin whose potential is assessed herein as a regional deep saline aquifer. The third option would be to direct future exploration to anticlines composed of carbonate rocks with primary and secondary porosity, covered with impermeable Miocene to Holocene clastic sediments. Five closed structures of this type were contoured with a large total potential, but data on their reservoir properties allow only theoretical storage capacity estimates at this stage.
