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 کاملThe Makassar Strait Tsunamigenic Region, Indonesia
The Makassar Strait region has had the highest frequency of historical tsunami events for Indonesia. The strait has a seismic activity due to the convergence of four tectonic plates that produces a complex mixture of structures. The main tsunamigenic features in the Makassar Strait are the Palu-Koro and Pasternoster transform fault zones, which form the boundaries of the Makassar trough. Analys...
متن کاملNewly Discovered Globular Clusters in the Outer Halo of M31
We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from an INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample includes a candidate at the largest known projected galactocentric radius yet from M31.
متن کاملOccurrence of Helicobacter pylori DNA in the coastal environment of southern Italy (Straits of Messina).
AIMS The occurrence of Helicobacter pylori in the coastal zone of the Straits of Messina (Italy) as free-living and associated with plankton was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Monthly sampling of seawater and plankton was carried out from April 2002 to March, 2003. All environmental samples analysed by cultural method, did not show the presence of H. pylori. The DNA extracted from all environme...
متن کاملThe tectonic puzzle of the Messina area (Southern Italy): Insights from new seismic reflection data
The Messina Strait, that separates peninsular Italy from Sicily, is one of the most seismically active areas of the Mediterranean. The structure and seismotectonic setting of the region are poorly understood, although the area is highly populated and important infrastructures are planned there. New seismic reflection data have identified a number of faults, as well as a crustal scale NE-trendin...
