  1. FROM DRAWING ANTICLINE AXES TO 3D MODELLING OF SEISMOGENIC SOURCES: EVOLUTION OF SEISMOTECTONIC MAPPING IN THE PO PLAIN Burrato P. & DISS Working Group (S. Barba, R. Basili, U. Fracassi, V.

  2. I terremoti del 20 e 29 Maggio 2012 sonostatieventiinattesi? Dalpuntodi vista geologico no! Seismogenic Sources from: Database ofPotentialSourcesforEarthquakesLargerthan M 5.5 in Italy INGV, 2001

  3. THE PROBLEM • The Po Plain is a challenging area for active tectonics studies. • In this almost flat region: • Strain rates are low; • Seismicity is moderate and infrequent; • Regional tectonic signal is larger than local ones; • Sedimentary rates are much higher than tectonic ones; • Locally, large man-induced vertical ground motion. • Hence: • Faulting and folding is almost everywhere blind. • To identify and characterize Seismogenic Sources we need an approach that integrates morphotectonic analysis and (possibly) high resolution subsurface geological and geophysical datasets.

  4. ACTIVE DEFORMATION: GPS GPS velocities not able to capture the activity of the outer blind thrust fronts! May-June 2012 Emilia seismic sequence (M5.9-5.8) Bennett et al., 2012 Active shortening localized along the mountain front

  5. ACTIVE DEFORMATION: GPS Devoti et al., 2011

  6. REGIONAL vs LOCAL TECTONIC SIGNAL Regional subsidence due to NA mountain building Blind faulting and folding Fantoni & Franciosi, 2010
