Present-day stress field in the surroundings of the Calabrian arc / R. Splendore, A.M. Marotta, R. Barzaghi. - In: GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH ABSTRACTS. - ISSN 1607-7962. - 11:(2009), pp. EGU2009-2375-217. ((Intervento presentato al convegno EGU general assembly tenutosi a Vienna nel 2009.
Abstract:
Present day stress fields in the Tyrrhenian area is the results of a complex interplay of various dynamic processes
acting at various scales, either local and regional, such as Africa-Eurasia convergence and Calabrian subduction.
In order to investigate the role played by each dynamic process in driving the tectonic and geodynamic setting
of the area, we use a finite element approach applied on both a thermal model and a tectonic model. Predicted
stress and strain in the Central Mediterranean area are compared to complementary data presently available in the
area, such as geological, geophysical and geodetic data. The results of our modeling support the hypothesis that
Africa-Eurasia convergence and Calabrian subduction are the controlling mechanism of the present-day stress field
in the southernmost part of the Tyrrhenian.
