We present the geological map of the north-eastern margin of the Fucino Basin, which is mainly characterized by Plio-Quaternary continental deposits that show transition from deeper-water lacustrine environment, marginal lacustrine system, and fluvial facies. These deposits unconformably overlie upper Messinian Lago-Mare sediments and pre-orogenic carbonate succession. The occurrence of Caspiocypris tiberina in the Plio-Quaternary lacustrine sediments, coupled with the normal magnetic polarity of Casa Colombaia section, led to suggest the onset of the sedimentation of these continental deposits to the late Piacenzian (2.58–3.04 Ma). The upper Messinian deposits are characterized by ostracod assemblages related to the Loxocorniculina djafarovi zone, pointing to the last Lago-Mare event of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.40–5.33 Ma). This new stratigraphic framework may be useful to refine the long-term slip rates of the still active normal faults that affect the north-eastern margin of the Fucino Basin.

We present the geological map at 1:25,000 scale of the Plio-Quaternary Paganica-San Demetrio-Castelnuovo Basin corresponding to the epicentral area of the 6 April 2009 Mw: 6.29 L’Aquila earthquake. The map focuses on the relationships between the active tectonics and the Plio-Quaternary deposits and on the early evolution of this continental basin. Fine-scale geological field surveys, coupled with paleontological data, facies analyses, well logs and geophysical data interpretation, allowed to better understand the stratigraphy and to review the previously described stratigraphical units, resulting in the definition of eight synthems, spanning from late Piacenzian to Holocene. More precisely, the occurrence of a Caspiocypris species flock (ostracods) at the base of the sedimentary infill of the basin formed by a lacustrine system, suggests that the onset of deposition started in the late Piacenzian. The lacustrine system disappeared around the Gelasian/Calabrian transition, while the subsequent evolution of the sedimentary basin was characterized by the presence of fluvial and alluvial fan systems progressively entrenched into the lake deposits. The results of the above-mentioned activities are summarized in the attached geological map, where the Plio-Quaternary synthems and the active normal faults accountable for the significant seismicity were highlighted.

The Santa Maria di Collemaggio Basilica is an important cultural heritage site and exemplifies Romanesque-Gothic art in the Abruzzo region (central Italy). Erected in the second half of the XII century, the Basilica was severely damaged during the April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (MW 6.1). In particular, the area of the transept collapsed causing the dome to fall. A refined two-dimensional (2D) geotechnical model was built representing a section that includes the Basilica, in order to better understand the soil response of the Basilica site. The subsoil model was constrained using the geophysical and geotechnical data collected from the seismic microzonation studies, the reconstruction of private damaged buildings and other technical and scientific studies realized in the L’Aquila basin and in the area of the Basilica before and after L’Aquila earthquake. 2D site response analyses were performed to verify the presence of local site effects by comparing simulated versus experimental transfer functions. Moreover, a frequency–wavenumber (f–k) analysis was executed with the aim of evaluating the occurrence of surface waves generated within the basin. 2D seismic effects involve significant amplification in the period range of engineering interest, therein providing an appropriate elastic response spectrum for the restoration of the Basilica.

A seismic sequence in central Italy from August 2016 to January 2017 affected groundwater dynamics in fractured carbonate aquifers. Changes in spring discharge, water-table position, and streamflow were recorded for several months following nine Mw 5.0–6.5 seismic events. Data from 22 measurement sites, located within 100 km of the epicentral zones, were analyzed. The intensity of the induced changes were correlated with seismic magnitude and distance to epicenters. The additional post-seismic discharge from rivers and springs was found to be higher than 9 m3/s, totaling more than 0.1 km3 of groundwater release over 6 months. This huge and unexpected contribution increased streamflow in narrow mountainous valleys to previously unmeasured peak values. Analogously to the L’Aquila 2009 post-earthquake phenomenon, these hydrogeological changes might reflect an increase of bulk hydraulic conductivity at the aquifer scale, which would increase hydraulic heads in the discharge zones and lower them in some recharge areas. The observed changes may also be partly due to other mechanisms, such as shaking and/or squeezing effects related to intense subsidence in the core of the affected area, where effects had maximum extent, or breaching of hydraulic barriers. Une séquence sismique en Italie centrale entre Août 2016 et Janvier 2017 affecte la dynamique des eaux souterraines dans des aquifères carbonatés fracturés. Des changements dans le débit des sources, la position du niveau piézométrique, et l’écoulement ont été enregistrées pour plusieurs mois à la suite des neuf événements sismiques d’intensité 5.0–6.5. Les données de 22 sites de mesures, situés à moins de 100 km des zones des épicentres, ont été analysées. L’intensité des changements induits a été corrélée avec la magnitude sismique et la distance des épicentres. On a constaté que les débits post-sismiques additionnels des rivières et des sources étaient supérieurs à 9 m3/s, totalisant plus de 0.1 km3 de libération d’eaux souterraines sur 6 mois. Cette contribution énorme et inattendue a augmenté les débits des cours d’eau dans les vallées étroites montagneuses jusqu’à des valeurs de pics non mesurées auparavant. De façon analogue au phénomène de l’Aquila 2009 après le séisme, ces changements hydrogéologiques pourraient refléter une augmentation de la conductivité hydraulique apparente à l’échelle de l’aquifère, ce qui augmenterait les charges hydrauliques dans les zones de décharge et les abaisserait dans certaines zones de recharge. Les changements observés peuvent aussi être dues en partie à d’autres mécanismes, tels que les effets de secousse et/ou de compression liés à une subsidence intense dans le noyau de la zone affectée, où les effets ont une portée maximale, ou à la rupture des barrières hydrauliques. Una secuencia sísmica en el centro de Italia desde agosto de 2016 a enero de 2017 afectó la dinámica del agua subterránea en los acuíferos de carbonato fracturados. Los cambios en la descarga de los manantiales, la posición de la capa freática y el caudal se registraron durante varios meses luego de nueve eventos sísmicos de Mw 5.0–6.5. Se analizaron datos de 22 sitios de medición, ubicados dentro de los 100 km de las zonas de los epicentros. La intensidad de los cambios inducidos se correlacionó con la magnitud sísmica y la distancia a los epicentros. Se encontró que la descarga postsísmica adicional de ríos y manantiales era superior a 9 m3/s, totalizando más de 0.1 km3 de descarga de agua subterránea durante 6 meses. Esta enorme e inesperada contribución aumentó el flujo de las corrientes en los estrechos valles montañosos a valores máximos previamente no medidos. Análogamente al fenómeno de L’Aquila 2009 después del terremoto, estos cambios hidrogeológicos podrían reflejar un aumento de la conductividad hidráulica global en la escala del acuífero, lo que aumentaría las cargas hidráulicas en las zonas de descarga y las reduciría en algunas áreas de recarga. Los cambios observados también pueden deberse en parte a otros mecanismos, como temblores y/o efectos de compresión relacionados con un hundimiento intenso en el núcleo del área afectada, donde los efectos tuvieron la máxima extensión, o la ruptura de barreras hidráulicas. 2016年8月至2017年1月意大利中部的地震序列影响了断裂碳酸盐含水层的地下水动态。在9次Mw 5.0–6.5地震事件之后的几个月内记录了春季排水量,地下水位和河流的流量的变化。分析了位于震中区100公里范围内的22个测量点的数据。诱发变化的强度与地震的震级和震中距有关。发现河流和泉水的额外震后排水量高于9立方米/秒,超过6个月的地下水排放总量超过0.1立方公里。这个巨大而意想不到的贡献增加了狭窄山谷中的水流量,达到以前未测量的峰值水平。类似于拉奎拉2009年的地震后现象,这些水文地质的变化可能反映出含水层规模的分散水力传导性的增加,这将增加排放区的水头,并在一些补给区域降低它们。观察到的变化还可能部分归因于其他机制,如受影响地区核心的强烈沉降引起的震动和/或挤压效应,其中影响最大,或者破坏水力屏障。 A sequência sísmica no centro da Itália de agosto de 2016 a janeiro de 2017 afetou a dinâmica das águas subterrâneas em aquíferos carbonáticos fraturados.

We present a geological map at 1:25,000 scale of the Plio-Quaternary L’Aquila-Scoppito intermontane basin (central Italy), which corresponds to the epicentral area of the 6th April 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (Mw: 6.29). The map is derived from geological field surveys at 1:5000 scale and takes into account previously published maps. It is supported by a fine-scale LiDAR digital elevation model, paleontological analyses, 14C dating, well log analyses of deep boreholes, and geophysical data interpretation. By taking into account that the remarkable historical and present-day seismicity of the area is the result of its Plio-Quaternary geological evolution, the aim of this study is to produce a fine-scale geological map of the study area through a comprehensive analysis of the occurring Plio-Quaternary synthems and the tectonic processes that are taking place within it.

Karst springs in central-southern Italy are largely exploited for the human consumption since the Roman Times and currently feed some tens of millions inhabitants with tap water of high quality. Unlike other karst springs, they are characterized by a steady rate during the year with modest seasonal variability. However, the effects of climate changes are being strongly perceived in central and southern Italy as in the rest of the Mediterranean basin, and groundwater is obviously also affected. In this paper, we analyze the discharge time series of some important karst springs in the region, evaluating the trends and fluctuations in relation to rainfall regime, on a yearly time scale. The aim is to evaluate the response of these large karst aquifers in the Mediterranean area to the recharge input variation. The role of the North Atlantic Oscillation has also been considered. Trends and fluctuations have been highlighted by n-years moving average and transforming the time series by the Rescaled Adjusted Partial Sum. The results show that a drop in the discharge has occurred since 1987, with reductions ranging from 15 up to 30 %, although this negative trend is now possibly attenuating or even reversing. As a final remark, the spring discharge of the large karst aquifers in central-southern Italy can be assumed as a robust indicator for climate changes as it integrates the effects of precipitation and temperature variation in time and space.

An extensive geological, geotechnical and geophysical investigation was performed in L’Aquila city centre to restore Palazzo Centi, a historical building, damaged by the April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. This site investigation consisted of punctual and linear tests that allowed to define a detailed 3D model of the subsoil, irregularly affected by some peculiar conditions and characterized by low and variable values of the shear wave velocity V S in the near surface volume. In particular, the variable thickness of the upper fine-grained residual soils probably determined different ground motion amplifications during the main shock.

The goal of this paper was to characterize the recharge process and water–rock interactions in a regional homogeneous fractured carbonate aquifer in the Mediterranean environment (Gran Sasso, central Italy) through isotope data (δ2H, δ18O and δ13C-DIC) collected between 2006 and 2010. Samples were collected from the springs of the Gran Sasso aquifer and from the Underground Nuclear Physics Laboratories, located within the aquifer. Additionally, the hydrochemical data and the reference hydrogeological frameworks of previous studies have been used as a starting point for the geochemical modeling. The Gran Sasso aquifer, which is bounded by terrigenous and clastic units acting as aquitards, accommodates a uniquely broad regional groundwater, which feeds springs mainly at its border with high, steady discharge. In total, these springs discharge of more than 18 m3/s. At a local scale for the aquifer core and at a regional scale for the overall aquifer, δ 2H, δ18O and δ13C-DIC isotope data, the geochemical inverse modeling through PHREEQC and the δ13C-DIC fractionation modeling through NETPATH 2.0 show the following. (1) Clear processes of evaporation and related isotope enrichment may be ruled out. (2) Groundwater flow is active and extends to the overall aquifer without clear signs of layering and partitioning. (3) Groundwater flowpaths radiate from the core toward the periphery. (4) In L’Aquila Plain, Gran Sasso groundwater mixes with shallow Quaternary water at a ratio of one half. (5) The main geochemical processes are the dissolution of calcite and dolomite, and in some cases, ion exchange occurs (Mg2+ and SO4 2− release, Ca2+ adsorption). (6) In the less mineralized recharge groundwater, the δ13C-DIC value is influenced by the δ13C-DIC value of rainfall, while in more evolved groundwater, the final δ13C-DIC value is reached by fractionation during the flowpaths, indicating a lengthy interaction with limestone.

In the Gran Sasso fissured carbonate aquifer (central Italy), a long-term (2001–2007) spatio-temporal hydrochemical and 222Rn tracing survey was performed with the goal to investigate groundwater flow and water–rock interaction. Analyses of the physico-chemical parameters, and comparisons of multichemical and characteristic ratios in space and time, and subsequent statistical analyses, permitted a characterisation of the hydrogeology. At the regional scale, groundwater flows from recharge areas to the springs located at the aquifer boundaries, with a gradual increase of mineralisation and temperature along its flowpaths. However, the parameters of each group of springs may significantly deviate from the regional trend owing to fast flows and to the geological setting of the discharge spring areas, as corroborated by statistical data. Along regional flowpaths, the effects of seasonal recharge and lowering of the water table clearly cause changes in ion concentrations over time. This conceptual model was validated by an analysis of the 222Rn content in groundwater. 222Rn content, for which temporal variability depends on seasonal fluctuations of the water table, local lithology and the fracture network at the spring discharge areas, was considered as a tracer of the final stages of groundwater flowpaths.

[1] Obtaining constraints on maximum earthquake energy from fossil geological evidence has a primary importance for complementing historical information toward the proper mitigation of seismic hazard in a region. In this paper, we describe a newly discovered extensional fault zone in the western L'Aquila basin (Italy), associated with large paleofluidization structures. Paleofluidization‐bearing Calabrian sediments provide evidence for very shallow burial from mineralogical, organic matter thermal maturity, and flat dilatometer test data, whereas density of organic matter shows anomalously high values. We propose that all these pieces of information can be reconciled into a paleoseismological scenario where sediment liquefaction and fluidization in early middle Pleistocene times, as well as dewatering and overconsolidation, were coseismically triggered by strong earthquakes with magnitude approaching or slightly exceeding 7.0.

Although the Almone River, which runs for 6 km between the Roman Via Latina and Via Appia, inside the present Appian Way Regional Park, is a short tributary of the Tiber River, it played a crucial role among the cults for protection of the ancient city of Rome: the rite of lavatio (a ritual washing) of the lithic symbol of the Great Mother-Cybele goddess from Pessinus (the present village of Ballihisar, southwest of Ankara, Turkey) in the cold and fast-flowing water of the Almone River. In later times, the Almone River lost its sacrality and its flowing water got a new useful and hydraulic meaning. So it deeply characterised the local area and human settlements, enhancing their artisanal potential, especially in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and in part until the 20th century. The river area has records of water mills and ‘valche’ (from the Longobard word walkan, rolling), i.e. wool-fulling mills. One of the latter (converted into a paper mill in the early 20th century) has been restored and is now used as the headquarters and visitors' centre of the Appian Way Regional Park, of which the Almone is one of the key attractions for its tourist, natural, historical and cultural value.

In the carbonate fractured aquifer of the Gran Sasso (Central Italy), numerical simulations have been applied to validate a conceptual model of the recharge/discharge cycle at regional scale. To identify the effective aquifer features that mostly affect the spring discharges, simple parsimonious models, based on few key parameters whose effective values are well-constrained by previous hydrological/geological studies, are used. Input data are represented by infiltration, calculated considering rainfall, snowmelt and runoff in endorheic basins, and effective permeability distribution, estimated by geological, tectonic and hydrogeological settings of the aquifer. Discharges of tapped springs and tunnel drainages for the 1999-2009 period have been simulated, after estimating the recharge area of each monitored spring by the hydrogeological setting and checking them by mean isotope elevation values. Discharge monitoring has been compared with the simulations, obtaining a good agreement both at seasonal and yearly time basis. The simulations will also be useful for previewing discharge in drought period and evaluating protection zones of tapped springs in the territory of a National Park. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
