The Central Apennines Teleseismic Transect (1995)

Abstract

In the summer of 1995 a teleseismic transect was deployed across the central Apennines. It is the second of a series of passive seismic field experiments (Figure 1) planned for inferring information on the crust and the upper mantle beneath the Italian region. These studies on the deep structure are part of a m u l t i d i s c i p l i n a ry two years project "Geodynamic Modeling of an active Region of the Mediterranean: The Apennines" funded by the European Community (contract EV5V-0464), whose final goal is the definition of a g e o d y n a m i c model of the Apennines based on a variety of geological and geophysical studies. For more details on the project see the Report on the Northern Apennines teleseismic transect (Amato et al., 1995).
