EXPERIMENTAL SEISMIC REFLECTION STUDY IN THE NORCIA AND GARGANO AREAS (CENTRAL-SOUTHERN ITALY)

Abstract

Under the auspices of the European Co-operation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research, COST-Action 625 "3-D Monitoring of Active Tectonic Structures", a collaborati on pro­ject was undertaken among researchers from the Universities of Aarhus with Italian partners of the CNR-Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources (Florence) and of the University of Camerino (Macerata). The objective of the project was to investigate faulted sedi­mentary sequences at shallow depths at selected sites with known active faults in the Norcia (Centrai Apennines), San Severo and Mattinata area (Gargano Promontory).
