Sessione 1.2 GNGTS 2009 sessione 1.2 Processi tettonici: osservazioni e modelli Convenor: A. Argnani e I. Marson GNGTS 2009 SESSIONE 1.2 ADRIA TOP TO BOTTOM: A RECEIVER FUNCTION PERSPECTIVE A. Amato, I. Bianchi, N. Piana Agostinetti Ist. Naz. Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Centro Nazionale Terremoti, Roma The Adria microplate is a key element in the geodynamic evolution of the Mediterranean. Although there are still different views about its role in the long history of Eurasia-Nubia plate con- vergence, it is generally accepted that Adria played an important part in the frame of the subduc- tion/collision process of the region. However, a deep knowledge of its internal lithospheric struc- ture is still missing. In this contribution we show some preliminary results of a study of the Adria crust and upper mantle using teleseismic receiver functions. In a recent paper, we analyzed teleseis- mic receiver functions of 175 broad band seismic stations in Italy and proposed a new Moho map of peninsular Italy (Piana Agostinetti and Amato, 2009, see Fig. 1). Fig. 1 above and the the verti- cal sections published in the paper by Piana Agostinetti and Amato (2009, see also the references therein) show very well the westward deepening of the Adriatic Moho from the Adriatic coast below the Apennines. This map was obtained considering a homogeneous crust and therefore can be improved to solve details of the crustal structure, useful for geodynamic studies. For instance, it is extremely interesting to understand how much of the Adriatic crust has been dragged down or peeled off during continental subduction, whether this process is continuous along the belt or has some irregularities, the meaning of the seismicity associated to Adria below the belt etc. As a first step in this direction, we start looking at the broad band seismic stations located direct- ly above or very close to the Adria plate. We consider 28 stations of the INGV National Seismic Network from the Apulia south- ernmost tip to the Po Plain. We compute layered 1-D S-velocity models below each station, using a trans-dimensional RJMCMC (Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo) inversion proce- dure recently developed by Piana Agostinetti and Malinverno (2009). This innovative tech- nique permits to retrieve the Vs model beneath a seismic station without giving a priori con- straints on the model parameteri- zation (number and thickness of layers, etc.) as usually done in typical receiver function studies. The results obtained to date are consistent with previous knowledge (deep wells, active seismic profiles, tomographic studies, etc.) with an improved areal coverage and extending to the whole deep crust and upper- most mantle, revealing interest- ing and original features. In this talk we show some preliminary results on selected Adriatic sta- tions. As an example, we show in Fig. 1 – Moho depth in Italy from teleseismic receiver functions (from Piana Agostinetti and Amato, 2009). 139 GNGTS 2009 SESSIONE 1.2 Fig. 2 – Vs preliminary model obtained from the inversion of teleseismic receiver functions at Minervino Murge (MRVN), in Apulia. Fig. 2 of the technique applied to the INGV station Minervino Murge (MRVN), located in correspondence of the Puglia-1, 7-km deep well. The Vs profile shows the high Vs, Meso- Cenozoic limestone succession, over a ~3-4 km thick low Vs layer, attributed to the Paleozoic basement. Below this, higher Vs from ~12 to ~18 km depth and a low Vs lower crust from ~18km depth to the Moho, at ~30 km depth.

TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGES AND ANALYSIS OF STRESS AND STRAIN TENSORS AT MT. ETNA: THE MAGMATIC UNREST LEADING TO THE 2008 ETNA ERUPTION S. Alparone, G. Barberi, O. Cocina, E. Giampiccolo, C. Musumeci, D. Patanè Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Sezione di Catania We analysed the seismic activity pre- ceding and accompanying the onset of the 2008 Mt. Etna eruption. Since January 2008, a clear seismic evidence of a magmatic unrest of the volcano was observed. Seismicity was firstly located in the southwestern sector of the vol- cano, at depth ranging between 10 and 20 km, along two tectonic structures (NE-SW and NNW-SSE) usually associ- ated with deeper magmatic recharge mechanisms (Figs. 1, 2). Afterwards, the seismicity was located along the shal- lower portions of the main structures of the northeastern and southern flanks of the volcano (Figs. 1, 2). On May 13, 2008 an intense seismic swarm (about 230 events in 7 hours) announced the beginning of the eruption (Fig. 1, white circles). Fig. 1 - Epicentral map of the analyzed seismicity. 140 GNGTS 2009 SESSIONE 1.2 Fig. 2 - Time-Depth distribution of the analyzed seismicity. In order to provide seismologi- cal constraints to the magmatic unrest of the volcano, 336 earth- quakes recorded from January 2007 to May 2008 (magnitude greater than 1.0) were selected for stress and strain tensors computation and 3D velocity and attenuation struc- ture determination. This in order to individuate possible stress variations caused by the activation of magmatic sources which can be well evidenced by 3D tomographic images. SEISMIC IMAGES OF DEFORMATION STRUCTURES OFFSHORE THE EASTERN FLANK OF MOUNT ETNA A. Argnani1, F. Mazzarini2, C. Bonazzi1, M. Bisson2, I. Isola2 1 ISMAR-CNR, Bologna, Italy 2 Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Pisa, Italy In spite of the clear evidence of active flank dynamics that is affecting the eastern side of Mount Etna, the nature and extent of volcano-tectonic processes have not been fully understood. In order to explain the observed flank deformation different models have been proposed, which are mostly based on onshore structural data. The eastern flank of Mount Etna, however, presents a remarkable topographic step towards the Ionian Sea, with the sea floor reaching a water depth close to 1 km not far from the coastline. Offshore Mount Etna evidence of gravitational instability has been previou- sly reported in the form of submarine landslides (Argnani and Bonazzi, 2005; Pareschi et al., 2006), suggesting that gravitational dynamics affects at least the upper sedimentary succession in this region. The onshore flank deformation of Mount Etna appears to be laterally confined by two tectonic guidelines, trending roughly E-W, located to the north and south of the deforming flank. The nor- thern guideline, in particular, takes the surface expression of a sharp fault (Pernicana Fault). Kinematic models often assume that these boundary structures continue offshore as linear features, connected to a frontal thrust ramp (i.e., Borgia et al., 1992). The occurrence of this offshore struc- tural system, however, has never been documented. This contribution aims at describing the defor- mation located offshore Mount Etna using multichannel seismic profiles recently acquired during three seismic surveys (Argnani and Bonazzi, 2005; Pareschi et al., 2006; Argnani et al., 2009). These surveys total over 800 km of high resolution seismic profiles, with record length ranging bet- ween 3 and 6 seconds and spatial coverage varying from 16 to 48 folds. Seismic profiles show various kinds of gravitational instabilities, operating at different scales, along the offshore extent of Mount Etna. In some instances, a possible control of deep structures on superficial gravitational deformation can also be observed. In general, seismic data show that a remarkable degree of structural complexity occurs offshore Mount Etna (e.g., Fig. 1). It has been observed that the Pernicana Fault is not continuing offshore as a sharp feature; rather, the deforma- tion is expressed in a more complex pattern, already close to the coastline. 141 GNGTS 2009 SESSIONE 1.2 Fig. 1 – Example of seismic profile located offshore Mount Etna showing a complex set of contractional structures. Note fault-related fold with eroded top in the center of the figure. Preliminary results suggest that tectonic structures might have affected the offshore of Mount Etna before the Pernicana Fault system was developed. However, the nature and significance of these structures and its relationship with the regional tectonic framework (e.g., Argnani, 2009) are still to be fully unravelled. Acknowledgements.

    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

Cover In 1693, the French Académie des Sciences introduced a new, supposedly more rational system for categorising letterforms and constructing them according to an underlying grid. This was employed in the design of Romain du Roi, a new typeface for Louis XIV’s royal printer. The grid-engraved plates, on which the ‘B’ on the cover is based, were produced to demonstrate the typeface’s geometrical construction at a time when letterforms were generally derived from stylised handwriting.

    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

In subject matter, this issue offers a wide scope covering the music manuscripts of the thirteenth-century French trouvère poet Thibaut de Champagne (expertly discussed by Christopher Callahan and Daniel E. O’Sullivan) to the digital genetic dossier of the twenty-first century Spanish experimental writer Robert Juan-Cantavella. The story of Juan- Cantavella’s “manuscripts” is an interesting: the dossier was handed on a USB stick to the scholar Bénédicte Vauthier for research; the files and their metadata became the subject of an extensive analysis of the writing history of his novel El Dorado (2008), proving that genetic criticism after the advent of the computer is still possible and necessary. In addition to Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth’s detailed consideration of the concept of “variant” and “variation” in the German historical-critical tradition of scholarly editing, the current volume contains four more theoretical exploration of this topic, which formed the topic of the 2013 Annual Conference of the Society that was held in Paris in November 2013.
