Friday May 10th, starting from 9:30 both at headquarters of Acquedotto Pugliese SpA in Bari (Via Salvatore Cognetti, 36), will be held on workshop conclusion of the MYBURP project (Modulation of hYdrology on stress BUildup on the IRPinia Fault) by title "Water and earthquakes in the Apennines: an indissoluble bond".
The research, funded byNational Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) within the project “Dynamic Planet”, he studied theEffect of surface hydrology on stress accumulation processes on seismogenic faults of the Apennines, i.e. those faults capable of generating earthquakes.
Born from the observation of a strong seasonal component in the deformation and seismicity along the Irpina Fault (the same one responsible for the strong earthquake of magnitude Ms 6.9 on 23 November 1980), the MYBURP project involved researchers fromNational Earthquake Observatory (ONT) of the INGV and Roma1 and Irpinia sections of the Institute, and was able to count on the external collaboration of Department of Geosciences of the University of Padua, from the Department of Physics of the University of Naples Federico II and of society Acquedotto Pugliese SpA, public drinking water supply infrastructure of the Puglia region, whose contribution was particularly important for the characterization of the surface hydrological component.
“The MYBURP project involved a multidisciplinary approach, involving experts in geodesy, seismology and geochemistry, to probe the response of the Irpinia fault system to stress modulations caused by the recharge phases of the regional karst aquifers and, through instrumental measurements, has contributed to the characterization of the frictional, elastic and hydrological properties of seismogenic faults", explains Nicola D'Agostino, researcher at INGV-ONT and coordinator of the project. “The final meeting that we organized in Bari was therefore thought of as an informative event aimed at illustrating the scientific motivations that inspired the project and the main results that we obtained in the period of our research, between 2021 and 2023”.
