The present-day velocity field has been estimated by the analysis of geodetic measurements in the northern Apennines, using the fairly dense network of GPS permanent stations now available in that zone. The first results of this investigation indicate a significantly higher mobility of the central sector of the Northern Apennines Arc (Umbria-Marche-Romagna units), with respect to the northwestern sector (Ligurides units) and the internal zone (Tuscany). This kinematics may account for the distribution of seismicity and the related strain field in the study area.

Abstract
The present-day velocity field has been estimated by the analysis of geodetic measurements in the northern Apennines, using the fairly dense network of GPS permanent stations now available in that zone. The first results of this investigation indicate a significantly higher mobility of the central sector of the Northern Apennines Arc (Umbria-Marche-Romagna units), with respect to the northwestern sector (Ligurides units) and the internal zone (Tuscany). This kinematics may account for the distribution of seismicity and the related strain field in the study area.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
