Joint Interpretation of Geophysical Results and Geological Observations for Detecting Buried Active Faults: The Case of the “Il Lago” Plain (Pettoranello del Molise, Italy)

Remote Sensing, 2021
We report a geophysical study across an active normal fault in the Southern Apennines. The surveyed area is the “Il Lago” Plain (Pettoranello del Molise), at the foot of Mt. Patalecchia (Molise Apennines, Southern Italy), a small tectonic basin filled by

A large unknown historical earthquake in the Abruzzi region (Central Italy): combination of geological and historical data

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
The combination of paleoseismological and historical investigation can be used to obtain a complete knowledge of past earthquakes. In Italy the 1000 year-long record of historical earthquakes provides an opportunity to compare data from the catalogue ...

Structural Characteristics and Formation Mechanism of the Earth Fissures as a Geohazard in Birjand, Iran

Applied Sciences, 2022
Earth fissure structures are a common type of geohazard associated with geotechnical surface ruptures that can occur almost anywhere on the ground surface due to a variety of different mechanisms, and in most cases, these hazardous cracks have resulted ...

Active Faulting in Lake Constance (Austria, Germany, Switzerland) Unraveled by Multi-Vintage Reflection Seismic Data

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments are primarily based on instrumentally recorded and historically documented earthquakes. For the northern part of the European Alpine Arc, slow crustal deformation results in low earthquake recurrence rates and ...

Hazard classification of active faults in Yunnan base on probabilistic seismic hazard assessment

Open Geosciences
During a major earthquake, the hazard of active faults mainly manifests in two main aspects: seism enhancement near the fault (near-fault effect) and surface displacement.
