The Strait of Messina: Seismotectonics and the source of the 1908 earthquake
More than 100 years after the devasting Messina-Reggio Calabria earthquake (M= 7.1), the
largest seismic event ever recorded in southern Europe in the instrumental epoch, its …

The Ionian and Alfeo–Etna fault zones: New segments of an evolving plate boundary in the central Mediterranean Sea?
Abstract The Calabrian Arc is a narrow subduction–rollback system resulting from
Africa/Eurasia plate convergence. While crustal shortening is taken up in the accretionary …

New simulations and understanding of the 1908 Messina tsunami for a dual seismic and deep submarine mass failure source
Over 100 years after the event, the mechanism of the 1908 Messina tsunami remains
unresolved. The up to 12 m runups observed along the coasts of Sicily and Calabria cannot …

Tectonic expression of an active slab tear from high‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Subduction of a narrow slab of oceanic lithosphere beneath a tightly curved orogenic arc
requires the presence of at least one lithospheric scale tear fault. While the Calabrian …

Reappraisal and analysis of macroseismic data for seismotectonic purposes: The strong earthquakes of southern Calabria, Italy
In tectonically active areas, such as the Italian peninsula, studying the faults responsible for
strong earthquakes is often challenging, especially when the earthquakes occurred in …
