Abstract
This research has produced the most updated database on the Holocene vertical tectonic rate in the Calabrian arc. In addition, we provide recognition and synthetic appraisal of 10 ancient co-seismic events based on coastal tectonic analysis, four of them totally unknown. The study on the long-term displacement in NE Calabria, which is pivotal to numerical modelling of the sources, has allowed to propose new possible sources of local deformation in a region characterized, so far, by a complete lack of knowledge on active structures, but where recent research have suggested active transpression. Further studies might ascertain the partial seismogenic role of these structures in northeast Calabria. It is also likely, based on the novel seismotectonic context emerging from recent studies, that some of the co-seismic events evidenced by our research, and specifically those in the Milazzo area, might be related to contractional or transpressional tectonicsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
