“…We model 97 faults in the central Apennines that show evidence of activity since the demise of the LGM as receiver faults. The fault map is constructed from geological maps of the region with evidence for Holocene activity from field mapping of post‐LGM geomorphic offsets [ Morewood and Roberts , ; Cowie and Roberts , ; Roberts et al , ; Roberts and Michetti , ; Papanikolaou et al , ; Faure Walker et al , , ; Wilkinson et al , ]. This probably includes all major faults (i.e., with slip rate > ~0.1 mm yr −1 ) in the region as (a) slip rates as low as 0.1 mm yr −1 would produce cumulative offsets of 100 m over 1 Ma that would be resolvable on geological maps, (b) if significant contributors to the overall strain were missing then correlations between geodetic and geologic measurements of strain and between strain rate and topography would not hold [e.g., D'Agostino et al , ; Cowie et al , ], and (c) no significant clusters of microseismicity have occurred outside areas surrounding mapped faults during the last 30 years [ Boncio et al , ].…”
