Seismic Reflection Profiles and Subsurface Geology of the Area Interested by the 2016–2017 Earthquake Sequence (Central Italy)

Abstract: Starting from 24 August 2016, a long seismic sequence, including nine Mw > 5.0 earthquakes, struck a wide area of the Central Italy. A large amount of geological, geodetic, and seismological data envisages a complex system of NNW‐SSE trending, seismogenic normal faults. These active tectonic structures are well known at the surface and consistent with previous seismotectonic studies. In order to improve the comprehension of the seismotectonic framework of this seismic sequence, we provide a novel reconstructio… Show more

“…In fact, both magnetic and gravity anomalies predicted along these sections fit the observed anomalies producing errors with magnitude similar to those obtained on the geologically constrained Section . In our opinion, this approach further validates the initial geological model proposed by Porreca et al (), which is consistently supported across the entire study area.…”

“…It is unclear because on the 30 October 2016, before field surveys of the 26 October earthquakes, a M w 6.5 earthquake ruptured the total length of the Mt. Vettore fault, rerupturing locations that slipped in the 24 August 2016 earthquake and perhaps those on the 26 October (see Figures , , and ; Calderoni et al, ; Cheloni et al, ; Chiaraluce et al, ; Civico et al, ; Falcucci et al, ; Ferrario & Livio, ; Lavecchia et al, ; Mildon et al, ; Pavlides et al, ; Perouse et al, ; Pizzi et al, ; Porreca et al, ; Scognamiglio et al, ; Verdecchia et al, ; Villani, Civico, et al, ; Villani, Pucci, et al, ; Walters et al, ). Meter‐scale offset across surface ruptures was measured with near‐field 1‐Hz global navigation satellite system for the 30 October ruptures, revealing that the ruptures formed within 2–4 s and, before peak ground acceleration, supporting the primary tectonic origin of the ruptures (Wilkinson et al, ; Figure ).…”
