MULTIDISCIPLINARY METHODS OF INVESTIGATION FORA SINGLE FAULT

Abstract

We use different methods of investigation (field geology, structural analysis, geomorphology, seismic reflection profiles and seismological data) to study the same fault (Gubbio normal fault in central ltaly). The availability of different data-sources gives us the opportu­nity of comparing different approaches, hence evaluating points of consensus and/or controversy in fault analysis. From our integrated analysis we define a well focussed image of the geometry and k:inematics of the Gubbio fault and the related Quaternary basin, while the seismogenic role of the fault is still ambiguous.
