Finite source from geodetic data
The rupture distribution along the seismic source is derived from the analysis of displacement maps (InSAR) obtained through the processing of Sentinel-1, European Space Agency, radar images. InSAR data are produced by the EPOSAR (IREA-CNR) service.

Focal Plane FP1

This source model, derived from 1 InSAR dataset(s) including 2 post-event days, is characterized by a single E-W oriented fault (strike 280°), dipping towards the N at 21° degrees and a nearly pure inverse rupture (rake 88°). Slip peak is approximately 2.3 m at a depth of 16.1 km. The energy released is 6.8E+19 Nm, corresponding to an M 7.2 earthquake. InSAR data, model and ancillary information can be found in the data_and_model.zip file, available for download
Expected surface displacement scenario
This section shows maps of the predicted surface displacement based on a finite fault derived from focal mechanisms. Images contain maps of simulated displacement; they only provide qualitative indications about the expected displacement. Use the pull-down menu to select a scenario from those available. Finite fault dimensions and mean slip are based on the scaling factore in Leonard (2010), doi 10.1785/0120090189. Scenarios are available only for a limited period after the event
