Attenuation study in the Straits of Messina area (southern Italy)
The attenuation of seismic waves is one of the basic physical parameters used in seismological studies and earthquake engineering, which is closely related to the seismicity and regional tectonic activity of a particular area. In this work, the seismic attenuation in the Straits of Messina, affected by several and strong historical earthquakes, was studied using waveforms recorded by a local se...
متن کاملPotential Earthquakes rupturing the chinshan and Shangjiao Faults in the taipei Metropolitan Area
There are two active faults, i.e., the Chinshan and Shangjiao faults in the Taipei Metropolitan Area. The moment magnitude (M), maximum displacement (Dmax), and average displacement (Dave) of potential earthquakes, which would rupture the two faults, are evaluated. The fault lengths are 25 and 20 km, respectively, for the Chinshan and Shangjiao faults. The optimum values of the three parameters...
متن کاملSequence of eruptive events in the Vesuvio area recorded in shallow-water Ionian Sea sediments
The dating of the cores we drilled from the Gallipoli terrace in the Gulf of Taranto (Ionian Sea), previously obtained by tephroanalysis, is checked by applying a method to objectively recognize volcanic events. This automatic statistical procedure allows identifying pulse-like features in a series and evaluating quantitatively the confidence level at which the significant peaks are detected. W...

متن کاملSeasonal variability of phytoplankton fluorescence in relation to the Straits of Messina (Sicily) tidal upwelling
In the Straits of Messina, large gradients of tidal displacements, as well as the topographic constrictions, determine the upwelling of deeper waters in the surface layer. This work describes the seasonal variability in the surface distribution of phytoplankton biomass depending on the upwelling phenomena. Temperature, salinity, nitrates and phytoplankton fluorescence were measured in 1994 and ...
