Modelli 3D - MOD_SISM_RER

Aiming at a better picture of the subsurface along the Pedeapenninic Front of the Northern Apennines (Italy), we built a new 3D seismotectonic model of the area between Parma and Bologna incorporating new geological surface constraints with a wealth of subsurface geological and geophysical data, in order to locate, characterise and parametrize the active and seismogenic faults that define the seismotectonic framework of the region.

The investigated area extends from the mountainous internal sector of the Northern Apennines, to the south, to the flat Po Plain in the north. Adria-related Tuscan Units crop out in the axial sector and are overthrust by the allochthonous Ligurian and Epiligurian Units. Pliocene and younger units crop out along the Pedeapenninic Front.
