Journal ArticleDOI

High‐precision locations of the microseismicity preceding the 2002–2003 Mt. Etna eruption

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the spatial pattern of microseismicity between August 2001 and October 2002 and calculated 23 fault plane solutions (FPSs) for shocks with magnitude greater than 2.5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foreland segmentation along an active convergent margin: New constraints in southeastern Sicily (Italy) from seismic and geodetic observations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an in-depth analysis of the ongoing tectonics of a large sector of southern Sicily, including the Hyblean Foreland and the front of the Maghrebian Chain, as well as the Ionian Sea offshore, through the integration of seismic and GPS observations collected in the nearly two decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress Directions and Shear-Wave Anisotropy: Observations from Local Earthquakes in Southeastern Sicily, Italy

TL;DR: The spatial distribution of 414 earthquakes recorded from 1994 to 2002 in southeastern Sicily (Italy) has been analyzed in this paper, showing that the seismicity generally coincides with mapped Plio-Quaternary faults, including the north-north- west-south-southeast striking offshore fault system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible role of fluid overpressure in the generation of earthquake swarms in active tectonic areas: The case of the Peloritani Mts. (Sicily, Italy)

TL;DR: In this article, a multidisciplinary approach was used to study the process of earthquake swarm generation in the Peloritani Mts. (NE Sicily) by collecting data on the tectonic setting, seismicity pattern and geochemical characteristics of fluid emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shear wave splitting changes associated with the 2001 volcanic eruption on Mt Etna

TL;DR: The time delays and polarizations of shear wave splitting above small earthquakes show variations before the 2001 July 17-August 9 2001 flank eruption on Mt Etna, Sicily.
