... may be better understood considering the recent results on rupture directivity provided by Calderoni et al. (2017) for sixteen earthquakes of Mw > 4.4 belonging to the 2016 Amatrice-Norcia-Visso seismic sequences. The seismic sequences that occurred in the last decades in central Italy...

...D. Bindi; D. Spallarossa; M. Picozzi; D. Scafidi; F. Cotton Abstract In this study, we analyzed 10 yrs of seismicity in central Italy from 2008 to 2017, a period witnessing more than 1400 earthquakes in the magnitude range 2.5 ≤ M w ≤ 6.5 . The data set includes the main sequences that have...

Epicenters of 55,000 events from the 2009 L’Aquila sequence (coded by depth in gray) and the 2016 AVN sequence (coded by depth in green) in the Apennines of Italy. The two earthquake sequences that span the area between Visso...

... without requiring the deconvolution of the instrumental response and without knowing a priori the attenuation model and the orientation of the activated fault system. We apply the method to the 2016–2017 Amatrice‐Visso‐Norcia high‐energy and long‐lasting earthquake series in central Italy, which affected...

... Protection). It was followed two months later by an M w  5.9 earthquake near the town of Visso on 26 October, before culminating in an M w  6.5 earthquake near the town of Norcia four days later (Fig.  1 ). The Norcia earthquake is the largest earthquake in Italy since the 1980 M w...

... similar preparatory phases in nature remains difficult because it requires dense monitoring in advance. The 2016 Amatrice-Visso-Norcia (central Italy) earthquake cascade, captured by an unprecedented seismic network, provided a unique testing ground to image the preparatory phase of a large event...

...Dino Bindi; Daniele Spallarossa; Matteo Picozzi; Gabriele Tarchini ABSTRACT We study the scaling between seismic moment and corner frequency, and the spatial variability of the stress drop, in central and southern Italy. We analyze a data set generated by 28,943 earthquakes that occurred between...

... before the M w 5.9, and availability of temporary accommodation, the populations suffered no additional casualties during these events. The Norcia event was located between the Amatrice and Visso earthquakes, causing some of the most impressive surface faulting ever seen in Italy. In January 2017...

.... The 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence started on 24 August 2016 with the Amatrice M w = 6.0 earthquake ( Fig. 1A ). This first main shock was followed by two other large earthquakes: the M w = 5.9 Visso and M w = 6.5 Norcia earthquakes on 26 and 30 October, respectively. On 18 January 2017, the M...
