In order to study the relationships between recent seismotectonic processes and thermal conditions of the lithosphere, we analyzed the lateral variations both in surface heat-flow density and in seismic activity of the northern Italian Apennines. The focal depths have been related to the mechanical properties of the lithosphere. The hypocentre...

It is usually assumed that earthquakes in intraplate regions occur in the upper crust, and northwestern Italy is generally assigned to this kind of 'normal' seismicity. In this work, the depth distribution of the events localized in this area by the Istituto Geofisico Geodetico (IGG) seismic network in the period 1991-1997 is analyzed in...

We present some preliminary results obtained from the joined analysis of the data collected by the permanent and the temporary networks operating in the area of the earthquake sequence that followed "and anticipated" the 26 September. Central Italy, main shocks. In particular, these earthquake data have allowed us to determine a well...
