UniSa - IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe study five high precision leveling lines located around the epicentral area of 13 January 1915, Mw = 6.7 Fucino earthquake (Italy), that possibly recorded late stage postseismic relaxation movements. The geodetic signal is expected to comprise both large-scale uplift of the Apennines and postseismic relaxation effects. In order to verify this hypothesis and to estimate the amount of each contribution, we compute gravitational visco-elastic postseismic relaxation by inverting leveling data. Results indicate that the elastic upper crust is relatively thin (about 10 km) and post-seismic contribution could be set at 30% of the geodetic signal. Model parameters are consistent with previous knowledge of the 1915 Fucino earthquake source, local seismic hypocentral determinations and crustal models derived from surface waves.

| Abstract: | We study five high precision leveling lines located around the epicentral area of 13 January 1915, Mw = 6.7 Fucino earthquake (Italy), that possibly recorded late stage postseismic relaxation movements. The geodetic signal is expected to comprise both large-scale uplift of the Apennines and postseismic relaxation effects. In order to verify this hypothesis and to estimate the amount of each contribution, we compute gravitational visco-elastic postseismic relaxation by inverting leveling data. Results indicate that the elastic upper crust is relatively thin (about 10 km) and post-seismic contribution could be set at 30% of the geodetic signal. Model parameters are consistent with previous knowledge of the 1915 Fucino earthquake source, local seismic hypocentral determinations and crustal models derived from surface waves. |
