Trenches were excavated along the Fiandaca Fault providing data for relocating buildings damaged by the 2018 Mt. Etna earthquake. The paleoseismological results revealed 3 surface faulting events occurred in: 2018, 1894 and an unknown one in the Early Middle Ages. To verify a possible increase in seismicity, fault scarps were analysed conceptualizing a kinematic model and obtaining throw rate growth in the last 2 kyrs.

The study investigates a glacially overdeepened basin near the town of Schäftlarn, Germany, to provide the datasets for the methodological developmonet of combining high-resolution seismic reflection (HRSR) and full-waveform inversion (FWI). Seismic data with different source and receiver configurations reveal detailed basin structures, including previously unknown internal reflectors. HRSR with S-waves show more details than P-waves. First FWI delivers consistent velocity models.
