Ground Displacements Estimation through GNSS and Geometric Leveling: A Geological Interpretation of the 2016-2017 Seismic Sequence in Central Italy

by Riccardo Salvini (Department of Environment, Earth and Physical Sciences and Center for GeoTechnologies of the University of Siena), Claudio Vanneschi (Integrated Regional Information System for the Government of the Territory of Tuscany Region), Chiara Lanciano (Department of Environment, Earth and Physical Sciences and Center for GeoTechnologies of the University of Siena), Renzo Maseroli (Istituto Geografico Militare).

 

Between August 2016 and January 2017, a very energetic seismic sequence induced substantial horizontal and vertical ground displacements in the Central Italian Apennines. After this event, the Italian Military Geographical Institute (IGM), owner and manager of the Italian geodetic networks, executed several topographic surveys in the earthquake area in order to update the coordinates of vertices belonging to the IGM95 geodetic network.
