Abstract The Vado di Corno Fault Zone (VCFZ) is an active extensional fault cutting through carbonates in the Italian Central Apennines. The fault zone was exhumed from∼ 2 km depth …
The frictional behavior of anhydrite‐bearing faults is of interest to (a) the safety and effectiveness of CO2 storage in anhydrite‐capped reservoirs,(b) seismicity induced by …
A major part of the seismicity striking the Mediterranean area and other regions worldwide is hosted in carbonate rocks. Recent examples are the destructive earthquakes of L'Aquila (M …
Karst aquifers are important sources of thermal and groundwater in many parts of the world, such as the Alpine–Dinaric–Carpathian region in Europe. The Upper Triassic dolomites are …
The mechanics and seismogenic behavior of fault zones are strongly influenced by their internal structure. In this perspective, the internal structure of the extensional seismically …
Abstract We investigate the Middle Aterno Valley fault system (MAVF), a poorly investigated seismic gap in the central Apennines, adjacent to the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake epicentral …
We present a 2-D subsurface image of the Paganica Fault from a high-resolution refraction tomography and detailed geological investigation carried out across part of the north …
We report on a high‐resolution, low‐altitude aeromagnetic investigation of the central Apennine extensional seismogenic zone, hit by destructive historical earthquakes including …
We investigated the rate‐and‐state frictional properties of simulated anhydrite‐carbonate fault gouge derived from the basal Zechstein caprock overlying the seismogenic Groningen …
