Abstract
The 1997-98 Umbria-Marche earthquake provided a huge amount of good quality seismological data. The geology of the region has been extensively mapped for over a century by geologists from all over the world. The subsurface geology is constrained by a set of seismic reflection profiles and deep boreholes. acquired for oil exploration. The earthquake stimulated the acquisition of many other geological and geophysical data-sets (surface ruptures. structural analysis, geodetic data. geoeletrical data, etc.) As a consequence. the 1997-98 earthquake is one of the best case studies in the world for extensional earthquakes, driving the possibility of building up an integrated model of an extensional system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
