Laser interferometry enables to remotely measure microscopical length changes of deployed telecommunication cables originating from earthquakes. Long range and compatibility with data traffic make it unique to the exploration of remote regions, as well as highly-populated areas where optical networks are pervasive, and its large-scale implementation is attractive for both Earth scientists and telecom operators. However, validation and modeling of its response and sensitivity are still at an early stage and suffer from lack of statistically-significant event catalogs and limited availability of co-located seismometers. We implemented laser interferometry on a land-based telecommunication cable and analyzed 1.5 years of continuous acquisition, with successful detections of events in a broad range of magnitudes, including very weak ones. By comparing fiber and seismometer recordings we determined relations between a cable's detection probability and the magnitude and distance of events, and showed that spectral analysis of recorded data allows considerations on the earthquake dynamics. Our results reveal that quantitative analysis is possible for this sensing technique and support the interpretation of data from the growing amount of interferometric deployments. We anticipate the high integration and scalability of laser interferometry into existing telecommunication grids to be useful for the daily seismicity monitoring, in perspective exploitable for civilian protection use.

- Abstract
The INGV is the operational center for earthquake monitoring in Italy, https://www.ingv.it/en/monitoraggio-e-infrastrutture/sorveglianza/servizio-di-sorveglianza-sismica, it operates the Italian National Seismic Network and other networks at different scales and is a primary node of EIDA for archiving and distributing seismic recordings. INGV provides earthquake information to the Department of Civil Protection and to the public. In the frame of the FOCUS (Fiber Optic Cable Use for seafloor studies of earthquake hazard and deformation) project, https://www.geo-ocean.fr/Recherche/Projets-de-Recherche/ERC-FOCUS, we deployed a temporary seismic network, FXLand (1J), for a passive seismological experiment to record regional seismicity and teleseismic events. This experiment aims to improve the detection of seismicity; the accuracy of earthquake locations, and to define the crustal structure of the region. The seismicity in the Ionian area is possibly the result of two types of tectonic activity at different depths: a gently NW dipping subduction interface of the Calabrian subduction zone, and the strike-slip fault systems in the Ionian Sea, well expressed in the morpho-bathymetry and observed in previous seismic profiles.

Reti sismiche di pronto intervento ,Seismic swarm ,Chianti fiorentino ,Sciame sismico ,Rapid response seismic networks - Abstract
During May 2022, a short-lived seismic swarm affected a small area of the Chianti fiorentino region about 15 km south of Florence. The two strongest earthquakes of the swarm reached MW 3.7; nonetheless, they were distinctly felt up to distances of several tens of kilometers, causing residents’ concern. Moreover, the presence of a huge artistic heritage in the surrounding areas raises questions about its vulnerability to even minor ground shaking. In order to improve knowledge of the location and size of active seismogenic structures in the vicinity of Florence, the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) responded promptly through the SISMIKO emergency group. On the 4th of May, the day after the beginning of the sequence, five mobile seismic stations were installed at close range from the epicentral area and integrated into the INGV permanent monitoring system. This report describes the procedures related to: (i) deployment, maintenance and dismission of the mobile network; (ii) management and quality control of the acquired data. Finally, in the frame of the seismo-tectonic context of the area, we present a preliminary overview about the spatial features and temporal evolution of the swarm which had a slight resumption in August 2022, with a magnitude 2.7 event and its aftershocks., Nel mese di maggio 2022 è iniziato uno sciame sismico, di breve durata, che ha interessato una piccola area del Chianti fiorentino a circa 15 km a sud dalla città di Firenze. I due terremoti più energetici hanno avuto una magnitudo momento pari a 3.7; nonostante la magnitudo modesta, tali eventi sono stati avvertiti distintamente fino a distanze di diverse decine di chilometri, e hanno destato preoccupazione nella popolazione prossima all’area epicentrale. Inoltre, dato l’ingente patrimonio artistico presente nel capoluogo toscano, questo episodio ha sollevato interrogativi sulla sua vulnerabilità anche a scuotimenti del suolo di piccola entità. Al fine di migliorare le conoscenze sulla ubicazione e le dimensioni delle strutture sismogenetiche attive in prossimità di Firenze, l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) è intervenuto nell’area interessata dallo sciame attraverso il Gruppo Operativo (GO) di emergenza SISMIKO. Il 4 maggio, giorno successivo all’inizio dello sciame, cinque stazioni sismiche mobili sono state installate a distanza ravvicinata dall’area epicentrale, e integrate nel sistema di monitoraggio permanente INGV. Questo lavoro descrive le procedure relative a: (i) l’installazione, la manutenzione e la disinstallazione della rete sismica mobile; (ii) la gestione e il controllo di qualità dei dati acquisiti. Infine, vengono presentate, in riferimento al contesto sismotettonico dell’area, le caratteristiche spaziali e l’evoluzione temporale dello sciame, che ha presentato una piccola ripresa nell’attività sismica ad agosto del 2022, con un terremoto di magnitudo locale 2.7 e successive repliche.

The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) receives signals in real time from hundreds of seismic stations located throughout the country in the Seismic Surveillance Room and Tsunami Alert Center in Rome. When an earthquake occurs on the Italian territory, an automatic alarm provides a preliminary assessment of the hypocentral parameters within a couple of minutes. Two seismologists, always present in the seismic surveillance room in Rome, check the information obtained and, for earthquakes above a certain magnitude threshold (ML ≥ 2.5), communicate the data processed to the Civil Protection Operation Room in about 12 minutes (max 30’) [Margheriti et al., 2021]. The final evaluation of the hypocentral parameters of all earthquakes, from the strongest felt in vast areas of the territory to the smallest detected only by a few instruments, is carried out later using a more accurate analysis. This activity has been assigned, for decades and still today, to the group of analysts specialized in seismic signals interpretation. The seismological analysts of the Italian Seismic Bulletin review all the data recorded by the stations of the National Seismic Network and recognize the presence of earthquakes through a direct analysis of the signals waveforms. In this way the analyst detects the time of arrival of the seismic waves to the various sensors and evaluates the amplitude of the oscillations and the direction of the ground motion; these parameters, used in specific calculation procedures, allow to locate each earthquake8and to evaluate the associated magnitude. The information thus obtained flows into the database that the INGV manages and makes available to the community. This publication aims to make known a product of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, The Italian Seismic Bulletin, with specific focus on 2015 analysis. The main characteristics of natural seismicity and that of anthropogenic origin recorded in Italy during the examined year will be outlined., L’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) riceve, nella Sala di Sorveglianza Sismica e Centro Allerta Tsunami di Roma, i segnali in tempo reale da centinaia di stazioni sismiche distribuite sul territorio nazionale. Entro due minuti dall’occorrenza di un qualsiasi terremoto, appositi sistemi automatici forniscono una prima valutazione dei parametri ipocentrali. Due sismologi, sempre presenti nella sala operativa della sede centrale, controllano le informazioni ottenute e, per i terremoti sopra una determinata soglia di magnitudo (ML ≥ 2.5), comunicano alla Sala Situazione Italia della Protezione Civile i dati elaborati, in media in circa 12 minuti (massimo entro 30 minuti) [Margheriti et al., 2021]. La valutazione definitiva dei parametri ipocentrali di tutti i terremoti, dai più grandi avvertiti in vaste aree del territorio ai più piccoli rilevati solo da pochi strumenti, è demandata a un’analisi più accurata svolta in un secondo tempo, ormai da alcuni decenni, da un gruppo di analisti specializzati nell’interpretazione dei segnali sismici. Gli analisti sismologi del Bollettino Sismico Italiano revisionano tutti i dati registrati dalle stazioni della Rete Sismica Nazionale (RSN) dell’INGV e riconoscono la presenza di terremoti attraverso un’analisi diretta delle forme d’onda. In tal modo l’analista rileva il tempo d’arrivo delle onde sismiche ai vari sensori e valuta l’ampiezza delle oscillazioni e la direzione del moto del suolo; questi parametri, utilizzati da apposite procedure di calcolo, consentono di localizzare ogni terremoto e di valutare la magnitudo associata. Le informazioni così ottenute confluiscono nel database che l’INGV gestisce e che mette a disposizione della comunità1. Questa pubblicazione ha come scopo quello di far conoscere un prodotto dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Il Bollettino Sismico Italiano (BSI), con particolare riferimento all’anno 2015. Saranno delineate le principali caratteristiche della sismicità naturale e quella di origine antropica registrata in Italia nel corso dell’anno esaminato.

We present the results of P-to-S receiver function analysis to improve the 3D image of the sedimentary layer, the upper crust, and lower crust in the Pannonian Basin area. The Pannonian Basin hosts deep sedimentary depocentres superimposed on a complex basement structure and it is surrounded by mountain belts. We processed waveforms from 221 three-component broadband seismological stations. As a result of the dense station coverage, we were able to achieve so far unprecedented spatial resolution in determining the velocity structure of the crust. We applied a three-fold quality control process; the first two being applied to the observed waveforms and the third to the calculated radial receiver functions. This work is the first comprehensive receiver function study of the entire region. To prepare the inversions, we performed station-wise H-Vp/Vs grid search, as well as Common Conversion Point migration. Our main focus was then the S-wave velocity structure of the area, which we determined by the Neighborhood Algorithm inversion method at each station, where data were sub-divided into back-azimuthal bundles based on similar Ps delay times. The 1D, nonlinear inversions provided the depth of the discontinuities, shear-wave velocities and Vp/Vs ratios of each layer per bundle, and we calculated uncertainty values for each of these parameters. We then developed a 3D interpolation method based on natural neighbor interpolation to obtain the 3D crustal structure from the local inversion results. We present the sedimentary thickness map, the first Conrad depth map and an improved, detailed Moho map, as well as the first upper and lower crustal thickness maps obtained from receiver function analysis. The velocity jump across the Conrad discontinuity is estimated at less than 0.2 km/s over most of the investigated area. We also compare the new Moho map from our approach to simple grid search results and prior knowledge from other techniques. Our Moho depth map presents local variations in the investigated area: the crust-mantle boundary is at 20–26 km beneath the sedimentary basins, while it is situated deeper below the Apuseni Mountains, Transdanubian and North Hungarian Ranges (28–33 km), and it is the deepest beneath the Eastern Alps and the Southern Carpathians (40–45 km). These values reflect well the Neogene evolution of the region, such as crustal thinning of the Pannonian Basin and orogenic thickening in the neighboring mountain belts.

- Abstract
The region around the town Albstadt, SW Germany, was struck by four damaging earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 5 during the last century. These earthquakes occurred along the Albstadt Shear Zone (ASZ), which is characterized by more or less continuous microseismicity. As there are no visible surface ruptures that may be connected to the fault zone, we study its characteristics by its seismicity distribution and faulting pattern. We use the earthquake data of the state earthquake service of Baden-Württemberg from 2011 to 2018 and complement it with additional phase picks beginning in 2016 at the AlpArray and StressTransfer seismic networks in the vicinity of the ASZ. This extended data set is used to determine new minimum 1-D seismic vp and vs velocity models and corresponding station delay times for earthquake relocation. Fault plane solutions are determined for selected events, and the principal stress directions are derived. The minimum 1-D seismic velocity models have a simple and stable layering with increasing velocity with depth in the upper crust. The corresponding station delay times can be explained well by the lateral depth variation of the crystalline basement. The relocated events align about north–south with most of the seismic activity between the towns of Tübingen and Albstadt, east of the 9∘ E meridian. The events can be separated into several subclusters that indicate a segmentation of the ASZ. The majority of the 25 determined fault plane solutions feature an NNE–SSW strike but NNW–SSE-striking fault planes are also observed. The main fault plane associated with the ASZ dips steeply, and the rake indicates mainly sinistral strike-slip, but we also find minor components of normal and reverse faulting. The determined direction of the maximum horizontal stress of 140–149∘ is in good agreement with prior studies. Down to ca. 7–8 km depth SHmax is bigger than SV; below this depth, SV is the main stress component. The direction of SHmax indicates that the stress field in the area of the ASZ is mainly generated by the regional plate driving forces and the Alpine topography.

The recent development of ambient noise tomography, in combination with the increasing number of permanent seismic stations and dense networks of temporary stations operated during passive seismic experiments, provides a unique opportunity to build the first high-resolution 3-D shear wave velocity (vS) model of the entire crust of the Bohemian Massif (BM). This paper provides a regional-scale model of velocity distribution in the BM crust. The velocity model with a cell size of 22 km is built using a conventional two-step inversion approach from Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion curves measured at more than 400 stations. The shear velocities within the upper crust of the BM are ∼0.2 km s−1 higher than those in its surroundings. The highest crustal velocities appear in its southern part, the Moldanubian unit. The Cadomian part of the region has a thinner crust, whereas the crust assembled, or tectonically transformed in the Variscan period, is thicker. The sharp Moho discontinuity preserves traces of its dynamic development expressed in remnants of Variscan subductions imprinted in bands of crustal thickening. A significant feature of the presented model is the velocity-drop interface (VDI) modelled in the lower part of the crust. We explain this feature by the anisotropic fabric of the lower crust, which is characterised as vertical transverse isotropy with the low velocity being the symmetry axis. The VDI is often interrupted around the boundaries of the crustal units, usually above locally increased velocities in the lowermost crust. Due to the north-west–south-east shortening of the crust and the late-Variscan strike-slip movements along the north-east–south-west oriented sutures preserved in the BM lithosphere, the anisotropic fabric of the lower crust was partly or fully erased along the boundaries of original microplates. These weakened zones accompanied by a velocity increase above the Moho (which indicate an emplacement of mantle rocks into the lower crust) can represent channels through which portions of subducted and later molten rocks have percolated upwards providing magma to subsequently form granitoid plutons.

We compiled a dataset of continuous recordings from the temporary and permanent seismic networks to compute the high-resolution 3D S-wave velocity model of the Southeastern Alps, the western part of the external Dinarides, and the Friuli and Venetian plains through ambient noise tomography. Part of the dataset is recorded by the SWATH-D temporary network and permanent networks in Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia between October 2017 and July 2018. We computed 4050 vertical component cross-correlations to obtain the empirical Rayleigh wave Green’s functions. The dataset is complemented by adopting 1804 high-quality correlograms from other studies. The fast-marching method for 2D surface wave tomography is applied to the phase velocity dispersion curves in the 2–30 s period band. The resulting local dispersion curves are inverted for 1D S-wave velocity profiles using the non-perturbational and perturbational inversion methods. We assembled the 1D S-wave velocity profiles into a pseudo-3D S-wave velocity model from the surface down to 60 km depth. A range of iso-velocities, representing the crystalline basement depth and the crustal thickness, are determined. We found the average depth over the 2.8–3.0 and 4.1–4.3 km/s iso-velocity ranges to be reasonable representations of the crystalline basement and Moho depths, respectively. The basement depth map shows that the shallower crystalline basement beneath the Schio-Vicenza fault highlights the boundary between the deeper Venetian and Friuli plains to the east and the Po-plain to the west. The estimated Moho depth map displays a thickened crust along the boundary between the Friuli plain and the external Dinarides. It also reveals a N-S narrow corridor of crustal thinning to the east of the junction of Giudicarie and Periadriatic lines, which was not reported by other seismic imaging studies. This corridor of shallower Moho is located beneath the surface outcrop of the Permian magmatic rocks and seems to be connected to the continuation of the Permian magmatism to the deep-seated crust. We compared the shallow crustal velocities and the hypocentral location of the earthquakes in the Southern foothills of the Alps. It revealed that the seismicity mainly occurs in the S-wave velocity range between ∼3.1 and ∼3.6 km/s.

SUMMARYProbing seismic anisotropy of the lithosphere provides valuable clues on the fabric of rocks. We present a 3-D probabilistic model of shear wave velocity and radial anisotropy of the crust and uppermost mantle of Europe, focusing on the mountain belts of the Alps and Apennines. The model is built from Love and Rayleigh dispersion curves in the period range 5–149 s. Data are extracted from seismic ambient noise recorded at 1521 broad-band stations, including the AlpArray network. The dispersion curves are first combined in a linearized least squares inversion to obtain 2-D maps of group velocity at each period. Love and Rayleigh maps are then jointly inverted at depth for shear wave velocity and radial anisotropy using a Bayesian Monte Carlo scheme that accounts for the trade-off between radial anisotropy and horizontal layering. The isotropic part of our model is consistent with previous studies. However, our anisotropy maps differ from previous large scale studies that suggested the presence of significant radial anisotropy everywhere in the European crust and shallow upper mantle. We observe instead that radial anisotropy is mostly localized beneath the Apennines while most of the remaining European crust and shallow upper mantle is isotropic. We attribute this difference to trade-offs between radial anisotropy and thin (hectometric) layering in previous studies based on least-squares inversions and long period data (>30 s). In contrast, our approach involves a massive data set of short period measurements and a Bayesian inversion that accounts for thin layering. The positive radial anisotropy (VSH > VSV) observed in the lower crust of the Apennines cannot result from thin layering. We rather attribute it to ductile horizontal flow in response to the recent and present-day extension in the region.

SUMMARYTo constrain seismic anisotropy under and around the Alps in Europe, we study SKS shear wave splitting from the region densely covered by the AlpArray seismic network. We apply a technique based on measuring the splitting intensity, constraining well both the fast orientation and the splitting delay. Four years of teleseismic earthquake data were processed, from 723 temporary and permanent broad-band stations of the AlpArray deployment including ocean-bottom seismometers, providing a spatial coverage that is unprecedented. The technique is applied automatically (without human intervention), and it thus provides a reproducible image of anisotropic structure in and around the Alpine region. As in earlier studies, we observe a coherent rotation of fast axes in the western part of the Alpine chain, and a region of homogeneous fast orientation in the Central Alps. The spatial variation of splitting delay times is particularly interesting though. On one hand, there is a clear positive correlation with Alpine topography, suggesting that part of the seismic anisotropy (deformation) is caused by the Alpine orogeny. On the other hand, anisotropic strength around the mountain chain shows a distinct contrast between the Western and Eastern Alps. This difference is best explained by the more active mantle flow around the Western Alps. The new observational constraints, especially the splitting delay, provide new information on Alpine geodynamics.

- Abstract
In this study, we analyzed a large seismological dataset from temporary and permanent networks in the southern and eastern Alps to establish high-precision hypocenters and 1-D VP and VP/VS models. The waveform data of a subset of local earthquakes with magnitudes in the range of 1–4.2 ML were recorded by the dense, temporary SWATH-D network and selected stations of the AlpArray network between September 2017 and the end of 2018. The first arrival times of P and S waves of earthquakes are determined by a semi-automatic procedure. We applied a Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion method to simultaneously calculate robust hypocenters, a 1-D velocity model, and station corrections without prior assumptions, such as initial velocity models or earthquake locations. A further advantage of this method is the derivation of the model parameter uncertainties and noise levels of the data. The precision estimates of the localization procedure is checked by inverting a synthetic travel time dataset from a complex 3-D velocity model and by using the real stations and earthquakes geometry. The location accuracy is further investigated by a quarry blast test. The average uncertainties of the locations of the earthquakes are below 500 m in their epicenter and ∼ 1.7 km in depth. The earthquake distribution reveals seismicity in the upper crust (0–20 km), which is characterized by pronounced clusters along the Alpine frontal thrust, e.g., the Friuli-Venetia (FV) region, the Giudicarie–Lessini (GL) and Schio-Vicenza domains, the Austroalpine nappes, and the Inntal area. Some seismicity also occurs along the Periadriatic Fault. The general pattern of seismicity reflects head-on convergence of the Adriatic indenter with the Alpine orogenic crust. The seismicity in the FV and GL regions is deeper than the modeled frontal thrusts, which we interpret as indication for southward propagation of the southern Alpine deformation front (blind thrusts).

- Abstract
Highlights • Rayleigh-wave phase velocity in the wider Dinarides region using the two-station method. • Uppermost mantle shear-wave velocity model of the Dinarides-Adriatic Sea region. • Velocity model reveals a robust high-velocity anomaly present under the whole Dinarides. • High-velocity anomaly reaches depth of 160 km in the northern Dinarides to more than 200 km under southern Dinarides. • New structural model incorporating delamination as one of the processes controlling the continental collision in the Dinarides. The interaction between the Adriatic microplate (Adria) and Eurasia is the main driving factor in the central Mediterranean tectonics. Their interplay has shaped the geodynamics of the whole region and formed several mountain belts including Alps, Dinarides and Apennines. Among these, Dinarides are the least investigated and little is known about the underlying geodynamic processes. There are numerous open questions about the current state of interaction between Adria and Eurasia under the Dinaric domain. One of the most interesting is the nature of lithospheric underthrusting of Adriatic plate, e.g. length of the slab or varying slab disposition along the orogen. Previous investigations have found a low-velocity zone in the uppermost mantle under the northern-central Dinarides which was interpreted as a slab gap. Conversely, several newer studies have indicated the presence of the continuous slab under the Dinarides with no trace of the low velocity zone. Thus, to investigate the Dinaric mantle structure further, we use regional-to-teleseismic surface-wave records from 98 seismic stations in the wider Dinarides region to create a 3D shear-wave velocity model. More precisely, a two-station method is used to extract Rayleigh-wave phase velocity while tomography and 1D inversion of the phase velocity are employed to map the depth dependent shear-wave velocity. Resulting velocity model reveals a robust high-velocity anomaly present under the whole Dinar

We describe a set of seismological observations of the foreshock sequence preceding the 6 April 2009 [M.sub.w] 6.3 L'Aquila earthquake. The dense configuration of the seismic network in the epicenter area and the occurrence of a long foreshock sequence provide the opportunity for a detailed reconstruction of the preparatory phase of the main shock. Approaching the earthquake, we observed clear variations in the seismic wave propagation properties. The elastic properties of rocks in the fault region underwent a sharp change about a week before the earthquake. From our observations, we infer that a complex sequence of dilatancy-diffusion processes takes place and that fluids play a key role in the fault failure process. doi: 10.1130/G31463.1

Differences in seismic anisotropy revealed by split SKS waves that traverse the upper mantle beneath the Italian region reveal four areas of internally coherent anisotropic strength, providing evidence for mantle strain partitioning. When compared to uppermost mantle structure imaged by tomography, the sequence of these areas displays a straightforward parallelism. Under proper assumptions, the correspondence between areas of coherent splitting degree and areas of coherent velocity perturbations offers new insights into the late evolution of subduction in Italy and their effect on mantle strain. Keywords: anisotropy, tomography, subduction, upper mantle, Italy.

Il progetto “Sale Operative Integrate e Rete di monitoraggio futuro” (indicato nel volume come “S.O.I.R. monitoraggio futuro”) è finalizzato alla integrazione del sistema di monitoraggio sismico, vulcanico e di allerta tsunami che all’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Centro di Competenza del Sistema Nazionale di Protezione Civile, viene svolto presso le Sale Operative dell’Osservatorio Nazionale Terremoti (ONT) di Roma, dell’Osservatorio Vesuviano (OV) di Napoli e dell’Osservatorio Etneo (OE) di Catania. Il progetto, finanziato dal Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca (MIUR) attraverso il Fondo Integrativo Speciale per la Ricerca (FISR) con un co-finanziamento INGV, è stato approvato alla fine del 2017 ricevendo diverse proroghe, l'ultima delle quali, a causa dell’emergenza sanitaria COVID-19, ha portato la sua durata fino al 31 dicembre dello stesso 2020. In questi anni, una migliore integrazione tra le tre Sale Operative di Roma, di Napoli e di Catania è stato indubbiamente il risultato più ambizioso perseguito e raggiunto dal progetto; numerosi altri obiettivi tecnici e scientifici hanno coinvolto, tecnici, tecnologi, ricercatori e personale amministrativo di tutte le sezioni dell’INGV. A tutti i partecipanti al progetto va il più sentito ringraziamento per l’impegno e l’interesse mostrato, per la professionalità e serietà che hanno consentito, nonostante i tanti imprevisti, di portare a termine molti degli obiettivi prefissati. Un sincero grazie anche al Presidente INGV Prof. Carlo Doglioni e alla Dott.ssa Maria Siclari, Direttrice Generale dell’INGV, che ci ha sostenuti sin dall’inizio di questo viaggio e che il 15 giugno 2020 ha lasciato l’INGV per ricoprire il prestigioso incarico di Vice Capo del Dipartimento della Protezione Civile. L’idea di questa Miscellanea nasce a gennaio 2020 prima che l’emergenza sanitaria COVID-19, diventasse una pandemia mondiale, stravolgendo le dinamiche personali e lavorative di tutti noi. A giugno 2020 era previsto il meeting finale del progetto che non potendo essere svolto, fa diventare questo Miscellanea ancora più significativo. Questo volume sostituisce di fatto la riunione finale che ci avrebbe consentito la presentazione e la condivisione di tutti i risultati raggiunti. Ci teniamo quindi a ringraziare gli autori e i revisori che hanno contribuito al presente volume e tutta la segreteria del CEN.

L'INGV è Centro di Competenza per i fenomeni sismici, vulcanici e i maremoti per il Dipartimento di Protezione Civile Nazionale (DPC). Nell’ambito delle attività previste dall’Accordo Quadro DPC-INGV 2012-2021 (AQ vigente), l’INGV svolge attività di sorveglianza tecnico-scientifica sulla sismicità del territorio nazionale, sui fenomeni vulcanici e sui maremoti, finalizzata ai compiti di protezione civile, in modo ininterrotto (H24 per 365 giorni l’anno). Tale attività viene realizzata con uno specifico assetto organizzativo, che consente la trasmissione in tempo reale verso il DPC di tutte le informazioni riguardanti eventi e rischi sismici, vulcanici e da maremoto di interesse per il Dipartimento stesso. La sorveglianza sismica del territorio nazionale e delle aree limitrofe è in carico all’Osservatorio Nazionale Terremoti (ONT), insieme alle comunicazioni relative agli eventi in area mediterranea e nel mondo. La sorveglianza delle aree vulcaniche campane (Campi Flegrei, Ischia, Vesuvio) e siciliane (Etna, Stromboli, Vulcano, altre isole Eolie, Pantelleria) sono rispettivamente in carico all’Osservatorio Vesuviano (OV) e all’Osservatorio Etneo (OE). Dal gennaio 2017 è diventata ufficialmente operativa anche l’attività di monitoraggio e il Servizio di allerta dei maremoti di origine sismica (Centro Allerta Tsunami - CAT) con l’introduzione nella Sala INGV di Roma di una nuova unità di personale. In fase sperimentale, fino alla fine del 2016, e per i primi mesi di operatività, il personale per il Servizio di Allerta Tsunami è stato scelto all’interno del gruppo di turnisti che da anni svolgeva il Servizio di Sorveglianza Sismica; successivamente, è stato reclutato e formato nuovo personale in grado di svolgere entrambi i Servizi. A partire dal 2017 e nei due anni successivi sono stati attivati, quindi, i corsi per la formazione di nuovi turnisti e funzionari per i servizi di Sorveglianza Sismica e di Allerta Tsunami ed anche per i reperibili di Sala [Quintiliani et al., 2020]. La formazione del personale che partecipa al Servizio di Sorveglianza Sismica è prevista nei Piani di attività annuali relativi all’Allegato A dell’AQ vigente, tematica “Sorveglianza sismica” e quella del personale che partecipa alle attività del CAT nella tematica “Centro Allerta Tsunami (CAT)”. Inoltre, il Progetto “S.O.I.R. monitoraggio futuro” ha tra le sue finalità quella della formazione del personale delle Sale Operative INGV, essendo il WP4 “Formazione” uno dei sei working package del progetto espressamente dedicato a questo.

Dati accelerometrici ,Project “S.O.I.R. future monitoring” ,Accelerometric data ,Progetto “S.O.I.R. monitoraggio futuro” ,ISMD - Abstract
Ruolo fondamentale delle stazioni accelerometriche è la registrazione di dati di qualità utilizzati per il calcolo dei principali parametri di scuotimento considerati nell’ambito della sismologia applicata all’ingegneria. In caso di terremoti da moderati a forti, l’immediata disponibilità di dati accelerometrici di qualità è inoltre rilevante per ovviare gli eventuali effetti di saturazione alle stazioni velocimetriche, consentendo di effettuare molte analisi sismologiche fondamentali per il calcolo della magnitudo, il tensore momento sismico e la localizzazione del terremoto utilizzando anche i tempi di arrivo della fase S. Il principale obiettivo di questo lavoro è la messa a punto di metodologie automatiche per l’individuazione di cause epistemiche nel malfunzionamento delle stazioni accelerometriche della Rete Sismica Nazionale (RSN) [Michelini et al., 2016], di fornire un dato grezzo analizzato in automatico in grado di garantire fin dai primi minuti dopo l’evento un quadro generale dello scuotimento affidabile, oltre che rendere disponibile agli operatori della Sala Operativa dell’Osservatorio Nazionale Terremoti (ONT) una serie di informazioni dedicate alla qualità del dato contenute in pagine web riservate denominate ISMDqc (quality check) all’interno del portale accelerometrico ISMD [Massa et al., 2014].

In this study, we analyzed a large seismological dataset from temporary and permanent networks in the southern and eastern Alps to establish high-precision hypocenters and 1-D VP and VP/VS models. The waveform data of a subset of local earthquakes with magnitudes in the range of 1–4.2 ML were recorded by the dense, temporary SWATH-D network and selected stations of the AlpArray network between September 2017 and the end of 2018. The first arrival times of P and S waves of earthquakes are determined by a semi-automatic procedure. We applied a Markov chain Monte Carlo inversion method to simultaneously calculate robust hypocenters, a 1-D velocity model, and station corrections without prior assumptions, such as initial velocity models or earthquake locations. A further advantage of this method is the derivation of the model parameter uncertainties and noise levels of the data. The precision estimates of the localization procedure is checked by inverting a synthetic travel time dataset from a complex 3-D velocity model and by using the real stations and earthquakes geometry. The location accuracy is further investigated by a quarry blast test. The average uncertainties of the locations of the earthquakes are below 500 m in their epicenter and ∼ 1.7 km in depth. The earthquake distribution reveals seismicity in the upper crust (0–20 km), which is characterized by pronounced clusters along the Alpine frontal thrust, e.g., the Friuli-Venetia (FV) region, the Giudicarie–Lessini (GL) and Schio-Vicenza domains, the Austroalpine nappes, and the Inntal area. Some seismicity also occurs along the Periadriatic Fault. The general pattern of seismicity reflects head-on convergence of the Adriatic indenter with the Alpine orogenic crust. The seismicity in the FV and GL regions is deeper than the modeled frontal thrusts, which we interpret as indication for southward propagation of the southern Alpine deformation front (blind thrusts).

This paper outlines the main characteristics of the seismicity recorded in Italy during 2014 and describes the status of the National Seismic Network (RSN). In that year 427 seismic stations contributed to the RSN, most of them owned by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) and other coming from local, regional or foreign monitoring networks. The Italian Seismic Bulletin (BSI) of 2014 contains 27433 located earthquakes, most of them belong to one of the 32 seismic sequences identified; among these the most significant are the one that began in April in Alpi Cozie (ItalyFrance border region) and another one in December in Tuscany, in the region between Firenze and Siena. The minimum magnitude of completeness of the BSI in 2014 is MC 1.2, the same of the previous year. We illustrate the seismicity of anthropic origin present in the BSI (about 240 events, almost 1% of the total) and we present the seismograms of a couple of collapselandslide occurred in the Dolomites near Belluno, an area where these phenomena occur very frequently., Questo lavoro delinea le principali caratteristiche della sismicita registrata in Italia nel corso del 2014 e descrive lo stato della Rete Sismica Nazionale (RSN). Sono 427 le stazioni sismiche che vengono acquisite per la RSN durante il 2014; la maggior parte di esse sono di proprieta dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) mentre le restanti appartengono a reti locali, regionali o a reti di monitoraggio estere. Il Bollettino Sismico Italiano (BSI) del 2014 contiene 27433 terremoti localizzati, di cui la maggior parte raggruppati nelle 32 sequenze sismiche individuate. Tra queste le principali sono: quella avvenuta ad aprile al confine tra Italia e Francia (Alpi Cozie) e quella registrata nel mese di dicembre in Toscana, tra le provincie di Firenze e Siena. La magnitudo minima di completezza del BSI 2014 su tutto il territorio nazionale e pari a MC 1.2, come nell’anno precedente. In un capitolo viene illustrata la sismicita di origine antropica presente nel BSI (circa 240 eventi, poco meno dell’1% sul totale) e i segnali registrati dalle stazioni sismiche di due eventi franosi avvenuti nelle Dolomiti bellunesi, area in cui avvengono molto frequentemente fenomeni di questo tipo.

This paper describes the status of the National Seismic Network (RSN) and outlines the main characteristics of the seismicity recorded in Italy during 2013. In this year 417 seismic stations were acquired for the RSN, most of them owned by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) while the other coming from local, regional or foreign monitoring networks. The Italian Seismic Bulletin (BSI) of 2013 contains 25180 located earthquakes, of which almost two thirds belong to the 41 seismic sequences identified; among these the most significant is the one that began in June in Lunigiana, which also recorded the strongest earthquake of 2013: ML 5.2, which occurred on June 21st. The minimum magnitude of completeness of the BSI in 2013 is MC 1.2. A chapter of the work illustrates the seismicity of anthropic origin present in the BSI (about 1%) and the seismograms of a collapse landslide occurred in the Alpine arc, an area where phenomena of this type occur very frequently., Questo lavoro descrive lo stato della Rete Sismica Nazionale (RSN) e delinea le principali caratteristiche della sismicità registrata in Italia nel corso del 2013. Sono 417 le stazioni sismiche che vengono acquisite per la RSN durante il 2013; la maggior parte di proprietà dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) mentre le restanti appartengono a reti locali, regionali o a reti di monitoraggio estere. Il Bollettino Sismico Italiano (BSI) del 2013 contiene 25180 terremoti localizzati, di cui quasi due terzi appartengono alle 41 sequenze sismiche individuate; tra di esse la più rilevante è quella iniziata a giugno nella zona della Lunigiana che ha fatto registrare anche il terremoto più forte del 2013: ML 5.2, avvenuto il 21 giugno. La magnitudo minima di completezza del BSI 2013 su tutto il territorio nazionale è pari a MC 1.2. Un capitolo del lavoro illustra la sismicità di origine antropica presente nel BSI (circa l’1%) e i sismogrammi di una frana da crollo avvenuta nell’arco alpino, area in cui avvengono molto frequentemente fenomeni di questo tipo.

- Abstract
The Calabrian subduction zone is one of the narrowest arcs on Earth and a key area to understand the geodynamic evolution of the Mediterranean and other marginal seas. Here in the Ionian Sea, the African plate subducts beneath Eurasia. Imaging the boundary between the downgoing slab and the upper plate along the Calabrian subduction zone is important for assessing the potential of the subduction zone to generate mega‐thrust earthquakes and was the main objective of this study. Here we present and analyze the results from a 380 km long, wide‐angle seismic profile spanning the complete subduction zone, from the deep Ionian Basin and the accretionary wedge to NE Sicily, with additional constraints offered by 3‐D Gravity modeling and the analysis of earthquake hypocenters. The velocity model for the wide‐angle seismic profile images thin oceanic crust throughout the basin. The Calabrian backstop extends underneath the accretionary wedge to about 100 km SE of the coast. The seismic model was extended in depth using earthquake hypocenters. The combined results indicate that the slab dip increases abruptly from 2‐3° to 60‐70° over a distance of ≤50 km underneath the Calabrian backstop. This abrupt steepening is likely related to the roll‐back geodynamic evolution of the narrow Calabrian slab which shows great similarity to the shallow and deep geometry of the Gibraltar slab. Plain language abstract We investigate the deep crustal structure of southern Italy and the Central Mediterranean where some of the oldest oceanic crust on Earth is actively descending (subducting) into the earth's interior (Speranza et al., 2012). This process causes much of the moderate seismicity observed in this region and may be responsible for strong historical earthquakes as well (Gutscher et al., 2006). Deep seismic data recorded during a marine geophysical expedition performed in 2014, allow us to reconstruct the 3‐D geometry of this subduction zone. Our data reveal a 1‐4 km thick evaporitic (

- Abstract
Andrea Argnani in his comment on Dellong et al., 2020 (Geometry of the deep Calabrian subduction (Central Mediterranean Sea) from wide‐angle seismic data and 3D gravity modeling), proposes an alternate interpretation of the wide‐angle seismic velocity models presented by Dellong et al., 2018 and Dellong et al., 2020 and proposes a correction of the literature citations in these paper. In this reply, we discuss in detail all points raised by Andrea Argnani.
