We present an application of the microgravimetric and electric resistivity methods to achieve a better understanding of the geometry and extension of ‘Pantano di San Gregorio Magno’ intra-montane basin, in the Southern Apennines, linked to the presence of active Irpinia fault, source of the 4th largest Italian earthquake of last century (1980, Ms=6.9). This work illustrates the acquisition surveys, the data processing and a preliminary interpretation of a near-surface complex geological structure. These information, together with new 3D seismic data, will provide a more comprehensive mapping of basin morphology and its structural features, which we hope will prove useful for a better compression of the interaction between surface faulting and basin development in this key area of the Southern Apennines.

Abstract
We present an application of the microgravimetric and electric resistivity methods to achieve a better understanding of the geometry and extension of ‘Pantano di San Gregorio Magno’ intra-montane basin, in the Southern Apennines, linked to the presence of active Irpinia fault, source of the 4th largest Italian earthquake of last century (1980, Ms=6.9). This work illustrates the acquisition surveys, the data processing and a preliminary interpretation of a near-surface complex geological structure. These information, together with new 3D seismic data, will provide a more comprehensive mapping of basin morphology and its structural features, which we hope will prove useful for a better compression of the interaction between surface faulting and basin development in this key area of the Southern Apennines.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
