Title: | Seismic quiescence preceding the 2016 central Italy earthquakes | Journal: | Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors | Series/Report no.: | /272 (2017) | Issue Date: | 2017 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.pepi.2017.09.004 | Abstract: | complex multiple mainshocks sequence (24/08/2016, Mw 6.0; 26/10/2016, Mw 5.4 and 5.9; 30/10/2016, Mw 6.5) occurred in central Italy, causing the death of nearly 300 people and widespread destruction of entire villages. The Region-Time-Length (RTL) method is used to analyze the seismicity preceding the first Mw 6.0 Amatrice mainshock. This analysis is performed using the earthquake catalogue maintained by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) after a preprocessing, which includes the declustering of aftershocks. A well-evident quiescence that preceded the sequence was detected. The quiescence extended throughout a broad region north of the epicenter. The largest event of the sequence and the aftershocks covered most of the quiescence region, except for a small area to the west. The quiescence started from the beginning of September 2015 and lasted for approximately 1 year up to the Amatrice mainshock. |
