The 2009 L'Aquila sequence activated a normal fault system 50 km long in the Central
Apennines, composed of two main NW-trending faults 12–16 km long: the main high angle …

The formation of the Tyrrhenian–Apennines system has been characterized by a complex
distribution of major tectonic events, such as opening of basins, migration and distortion of …

On 6 April (01: 32 UTC) 2009 a MW 6.1 normal faulting earthquake struck the axial area of
the Abruzzo region in central Italy. We study the geometry of fault segments using high …

The multideformed axial zone of the Apennines provides a great opportunity to explore the
influence of pre-existing cross-structures (inherited from pre-Quaternary tectonic phases) on …

We investigate the role of frictional heating and thermal pressurization on earthquake
ruptures by modeling the spontaneous propagation of a three‐dimensional (3‐D) crack on a …

Earthquakes in central Italy, and in other areas worldwide, often nucleate within and rupture
through carbonates in the upper crust. During individual earthquake ruptures, most fault …

Aqueous fluids are thought to have an essential role in faulting and the dynamic propagation
of earthquake rupture. Fluid overpressure can affect earthquake nucleation, and in a …

We model the spatial and temporal pattern of seismicity during a sequence of moderate‐
magnitude normal faulting earthquakes, which struck in 1997 the Umbria‐Marche sector of …

In this paper we deal with the kinematic and chronological relationships among low angle
normal faults and high angle strike-to oblique-slip faults in an exhumed mineralized area …

Most Mediterranean prodeltas show undulated sediment features on the foresets of their
Holocene wedges. These features have been described all along the Mediterranean for the …
